Description: "The twentieth century saw female roles change more rapidly than during any other period of history. In 1900 women were domestic creatures: wives, mothers, workers and ornaments. Some had long sought new rights and freedoms. In the course of a turbulent century, women gained a vote and a voice, and by 2000 had permeated every male bastion from the professional work-place to the corridors of power. The Women's Century charts that incredible journey decade by decade, featuring the stories of many extraordinary women."--BOOK JACKET.
