In the last several decades, U.S. women's history has come of age.
Not only have historians challenged the national narrative on the
basis of their rich explorations of the personal, the social, the
economic, and the political. They have entered into dialogues with
each other over the meaning of women's history itself. In this
collection of seventeen original essays on women's lives from the
colonial period to the present, contributors take the competing
forces of race, gender, class, sexuality, religion, and region into
account. They examine, for example, how conceptions of gender
shaped immigration officials' attitudes towards East Asian
immigrants; how race and gender inequality pervaded the welfare
state; and how color and class shaped Mexican American women's
mobilization for civil and labor rights. Reading the past with all
of the messiness, contradictions, and excitement inherent in real
life, this book is a provocative meditation on the state of the
field.
