Sommario/riassunto

This illustrated encyclopedia examines the unique influence and contributions of women in every era of American history, from the colonial period to the present.

Divided into three chronologically arranged volumes, the set includes historical surveys and thematic essays on central issues and political changes affecting women's lives during each period. These are followed by A-Z entries on significant events and social movements, laws, court cases and more
