Description
This brief text examines the broad themes that have shaped women's experiences in the United States from 1890 to the present day. Students are invited to investigate the ways in which notions of gender difference have changed over time, as well as how a wide variety of women have both created and responded to shifting, often controversial cultural, political, and social roles.Tags
