Reihe: Uncovering the Past: Documentary Readers in American History

Women in American History Since 1880 presents a collection of over 60 primary source documents that illuminate the diverse experiences of women during different time periods in America.
* Offers a balanced approach to women's experiences by representing a diversity of voices and by focusing on the four themes of work, citizenship, representations, and domestic lives
* Concentrates on a 120-year span of history rather than the entire sweep of time from the colonial age to the present
* Includes an introduction, document headnotes and questions at the end of each chapter designed to encourage students to engage with the material critically
