Description

This anthology brings together carefully selected, quality articles in U.S. Women's History—organized around an interest in issues of gender and power in American society. Twenty individual essays provide readers with a unifying theme, and a greater understanding of history and continuing changes in gender relations. The chosen works discuss female institution building and American feminism, working-class women and sexuality, the professionalization of birth control, the sexual division of labor in the auto industry during World War II, the arrival of women in New York's Chinatown, the ERA, fair pay for working women, and much more. For individuals interested in the history of women in the United States. - from Amzon
