Documenting the history of the American women's rights movement
from 1945 through the 2016 election, this reference offers a
crucial and objective look at the changing strategies, goals, and
challenges of American feminists. Many aspects of women's lives in
the mid-twentieth century-including legal subjugation to their
husbands, limitations in education and employment, and restrictions
on sexual and reproductive autonomy-are unthinkable today. Women's
lives improved only through the concerted action of several
generations of activists, whose work lies at the center of this
volume. This book traces women's changing relationships to family,
work, education, government, and sexuality from 1945 through the
2016 election. The book begins with an overview essay that places
the women's rights movement in its historical context. This is
followed by a chronology offering concise profiles of key events. A
series of chapters then discusses the history of the women's rights
movement since 1945 and what the movement has accomplished.
Biographical entries profile key figures involved in the movement,
and a selection of primary source documents gives first-hand
accounts of the movement. An annotated bibliography directs readers
to additional sources of information. An overview essay places the
