About this product

Product Information

From the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs, America's Women tells the story of how women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America. Spanning wars, the pioneering days, the fight for suffrage, the Depression, the era of Rosie the Riveter, the civil rights movement, and the feminist rebellion of the 1970s, this book describes the way women's lives were altered by dress fashions, medical advances, rules of hygiene, social theories about sex and courtship, and the ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. While keeping her eye on the big picture, Gail Collins still notes that corsets and uncomfortable shoes mattered a lot too.

Reviews
Gail Collins knows how to tell a story. Lively, witty, and dead serious, this wise history is a fascinating read., This is one of the most fascinating American History books I've ever read. I learned something new on every page., Though America's Women is an easy and entertaining read, it also fulfills the radical promise of women's history.

  • Things I never knew that has made me more appreciative of my own life .

    This is a fantastic book. It should be required reading for students. I am only half way through it due to finishing others. It is well written and flows easily from one era to another. I better understand the Civil war and how everyone suffered, especially women and children. This book while being very factual is an emotional ride through the pages and ages of time. I am now on a covered wagon going west. The rain has penetrated the canvas and everything Is getting wet. The children are restless, crowded and uncomfortable. Women, especially good cooks sometimes made more than their husbands mining for gold by selling plates of food to the hungry men ...and so the historical stories go from one adventure to another. I am loving it. Thanks for asking my opinion.

  • Great.

    Very interesting. Not dry reading at all, but real stories cobbled together to create four hundred years of history of American Women.
