Synopsis:
This second edition of a well-received introduction to the history of American women is organized around a paired-chapter format. The first chapter in the pair is a narrative episode that concentrates in some detail on a particular person or event. The second sets that event into a wider historical context. This helps illustrate the main themes of women's history by referring to the concrete and the particular.
