Title: Women in American history since 1880
Description: This book presents a collection of over 60 primary source documents that illuminate the diverse experiences of women during different time periods in America. It offers a balanced approach to women's experiences by representing a diversity of voices and by focusing on the four themes of work, citizenship, representations, and domestic lives. It concentrates on a 120-year span of history rather than the entire sweep of time from the colonial age to the present. Also included are an introduction, document headnotes and questions at the end of each chapter designed to encourage students to engage with the material critically.
