Nancy Woloch, "Women and the American Experience: A Concise History" (Routledge, 2024)
The third edition of\xa0Women and the American Experience: A Concise History\xa0(Routledge, 2024)\xa0is a comprehensive survey of U.S. women\u2019s history from the seventeenth century to the present that illuminates the diversity of women\u2019s experience and underscores the roles that women have played as agents of change.\nMoving women\u2019s lives from the margins of history into the spotlight, the text draws links between women\u2019s experience and traditional facets of history, such as colonization, industrialization, politics, and war. This new edition grapples with emerging themes and debates in the field. A new chapter covers the Civil War and emancipation. Discussions of current issues include the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on women\u2019s health and work, the #MeToo movement, transgender activism, reproductive rights, and the ERA. Updated suggestions for further reading reinforce evolving trends in women\u2019s history.\nUsed often to shape college curricula and revised to include recent research, this book is designed to serve students, teachers, and general readers concerned with U.S. history and women\u2019s past.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
