Women's Rights Movement
In the face of injustice, people band together to work for change, and through their influence, what was once unthinkable becomes common. This title traces the history of the women's rights movement in the United States, including the key players, watershed moments, and legislative battles that have driven social change. Iconic images and informative sidebars accompany compelling text that follows the movement from the work of early suffragists through feminists' work to end discrimination in the mid-twentieth century and up to the continuing challenges that still face the country today. Features include a glossary, selected bibliography, Web sites, source notes, and an index, plus a timeline and essential facts.
