Synopsis

This is a unique collection of more than seventy-five primary sources, all of them (with the exception of two Supreme Court decisions) written by women. The story of American women over the past 100 years thus is told primarily in their own words. This volume can stand alone, or it can be used in combination with Woloch's EARLY AMERICAN WOMEN, 1600-1900.
