| Description: |
This text examines the passion, pain, victories and disappointments of the struggle for women's social, political, legal, economic and educational rights in America from colonial times to 1993. Letters, personal narratives, policy statements, laws, court decisions and poetry are included. |
| Synopsis: |
The 125 historical documents in this unique volume bring to life the triumphs, disappointments, and enduring contributions of women's struggle for equal rights in America. This work also reveals often-surprising sources of opposition, such as Abraham Lincoln and the U.S. Supreme Court. Organized into five chronological periods, the documents provide a flavor for the time period in which they were written. Each period and each document is preceded by an explanatory introduction that puts it in historical context. A chronology of significant dates in the history of American women's rights, a topically organized bibliography, and a list of women's organizations for further information completes the work. |
