Women's Movements in America: Their Successes, Disappointments, and Aspirations

Examining the American woman's struggle for suffrage, legal and property rights, and equality in the economic, political, and social realms, this book describes the gradual evolution of an increasingly independent women's movement committed to pursuing women's issues on all fronts. Each topical section provides historical analysis and rich documentation drawn from legal statutes and judicial decisions, demographic data, and public opinion polls, as well as biographies and other narrative accounts.
