A Century of Women: The History of Women in Britain and the United States in the Twentieth Century

Sheila Rowbotham

Far more than a historical subcategory, women have been driving forces behind world war politics, global migration, maternal welfare, sexual revolution, and modern labor movements. In A Century of Women, renowned historian Sheila Rowbotham charts, decade by decade, the changes in the lives of women and the ways they themselves have uniquely shaped history since 1900. From women who marched for the vote, stood on picket lines, or refused to be segregated, to politicians, poets, and film stars, their stories are told in rich detail. Throughout the book are entertaining essays on body and image, popular fiction, lesbian culture, the automobile, Barbie dolls, and more; a final section gathers biographies of four hundred notable women. Thoroughly engrossing and unrivaled in scope, A Century of Women provides a wealth of information on the rich, complex, and tumultuous lives of the women who have left an indelible mark on our century.

Threads Through Time: Writings on History and Autobiography

Sheila Rowbotham

Much has changed in the women's movement since the early 1970s. Since that time, Sheila Rowbotham has observed and commented on women's changing roles from both a personal and a historical perspective. Here she gathers nearly a quarter of a century of these writings. Among them are a reflection on writing history with a subjective awareness of class, gender, and race; a personal essay on growing up as a subversive in the conformist 1950s; and a look at how self-image was addressed in the early years of women's liberation. Interwoven throughout these essays are the threads of Rowbotham's compassionate wisdom as she encourages us to remember the past, care about each other, and pay attention to our own lives.

Dignity and Daily Bread: New Forms of Economic Organising Among Poor Women in the Third World and the First

Sheila Rowbotham

Dignity and Daily Bread compares the lives of women in both developed and undeveloped countries and examines how women have themselves organized forms of production. Covering a wide range of issues and areas, from cotton production in Bombay, to conditions in Mexico and in some of the Far East economies, the contributors attempt to break down some of the ideological barriers that colonialism and racism build up among women. The immediacy of these accounts brings to life women's experience in a variety of patriarchal societies and also serves to underline the book's topicality in a time of particular global economic hardship. Dignity and Daily Bread will make a significant contribution to both women's studies and development studies.
