Women's America: Refocusing the Past

Rate this book
Featuring a streamlined single-volume format, Women's America: Refocusing the Past is more teachable, accessible, and affordable than ever before. The ninth edition incorporates insights from new coeditor Karissa Haugeberg and appears at a time of anxiety about the meaning of equality in the twenty-first century. Some of the inequalities with which women have long struggled have been eliminated, while others have emerged or reemerged. Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment, Women's America is an indispensable text for the study of US women's history.
