The Reader's Companion to U.S. Women's History Book

This wonderfully accessible resource, which "effectively covers five centuries of women's experiences" (Bloomsbury Review), is the most inclusive book to date on women's collective history. From cowgirls to child care, from the artistic contributions of women of color to the history of Jewish feminism, this landmark work reexamines with fresh clarity and brio U.S. history and current issues that affect all women. Comprising more than four hundred articles by over three hundred writers from diverse areas of expertise, it was named an Editor's Choice of the Chicago Tribune, which hailed it as "intellectually engaging" on topics "from the Harlem Renaissance to standardized testing to terrorism."
