Women, Politics and American Society - Couverture souple

This is the first text to provide a comprehensive exploration of the efforts, the achievements, as well as the set backs involved in the “movements” toward equality for American women. It utilizes a historical approach to guide the reader through three highly active periods, (the early woman's movement, the suffrage movement, and the women's rights movement) that contributed to the political, economic, and social equality women have gained since the late nineteenth century and what they strive for today and for future American women.

Updated in a new 5th edition, Women, Politics, and American Society combines historical and topical approaches with a focus on political rights, education and employment, and familial and reproductive rights. This text motivates readers to pursue subjects of particular interest in greater detail and encourages students to become active participants in the political process.
