The American women's movement was one of the most influential
social movements of the twentieth century. Beginning with small
numbers, the women's movement eventually involved tens of thousands
of women and men. Longstanding ideas and habits came under scrutiny
as activists questioned and changed the nation's basic
institutions, including all branches of government, the workplace,
and the family. Nancy MacLean's introduction and collection of
primary sources engage students with the most up-to-date
scholarship in U.S. women's history. The introduction traces the
deep roots of the women's movement and demonstrates the continuity
from women's activism in the labor movement and New Deal networks,
the black civil rights movement, and the peace movement to the
height of Second Wave feminism and into the Third Wave. The primary
sources reflect the social breadth and depth of the movement.
Dispelling the misconception that the American women's movement was
solely a white, middle-class cause, the documents include the
voices of women of all ages, classes, and ethnicities. Topics
addressed range from wage discrimination, peace activism, housework
and childcare, sexuality, and reproductive rights to welfare,
education, socialism, violence against women, and more. Document
headnotes, a chronology of the women's movement, questions for
consideration, a selected bibliography, and index support student
learning, classroom discussion, and further research.
