Synopsis

V/G to LIKE NEW DJ, GOOD+/GOOD++ BOOK. FIRST AMERICAN EDITION. 1984 Schocken hardcover, Jane Rendall (Women in an Industrializing Society). This comparative study analyses the emergence of feminist movements and their differing characters in Britain, France and the United States. Jane Rendall examines the social, economic and cultural factors which affected women's status in society, and led some women to act, individually and collectively, to seek to change it. The Enlightenment emphasis on women's 'nature' and the evangelical stress on the moral potential of women contributed to a framework of ideas which could be used by conservatives and by feminists. - Google Books
