"Containing analysis, anecdotes, illustrations, and primary source documents, this volume is a valuable addition to any college, academic, or high school library where patrons would need access not only to writings about the issue of women's rights, but also criticisms, analyses, anecdotes, and primary documents." - ARBAonline"This enlightening source is much more than a roll call of persons and events that influenced women's rights and the suffrage movement. . . . This title will be extremely useful for research, and individual sections are interesting to peruse on their own. . . . Informative sidebars will pique readers' interest in lesser-known personalities. Primary-source documents, which are introduced with informative paragraphs explaining their significance, allow advanced researchers the opportunity to explore topics in more depth." - School Library Journal, Starred Review"DeLuzio (Female Adolescence) collects the work of 12 field specialists whose chapter-style essays mine the rich and diverse veins of history that exist within the three chronological phases of the women's movement. The guide opens with a time line that charts the progress of notable females, e.g., Bessie Smith and Sonia Sotomayor. Each subsequent chapter essay is a carefully considered and engaging read that closes with a multipage bibliography. A vital addition to all women's studies collections." - Library Journal"In this social history, DeLuzio (history, Southern Methodist U.) assembles 12 chapters by historians and women's studies scholars from the US on the struggle for women's rights throughout American history. Addressing the waves of feminism as well as the periods between them, chapters survey prominent theorists, women, and political organizers and leaders, as well as ordinary women who played a role in women's rights. Topics include women's rights from the colonial period up to the 1970s; issues such as suffrage, economic independence, reproductive rights, and racial equality; the rights of Native American women; education in the nineteenth and twentieth century; the ongoing movement for women's rights in the present day; and how multiple categories of identity affect women's responses to social inequality and oppression. Primary source documents such as the Declaration of Sentiments, the National American Woman Suffrage Association's 'Why Women Should Vote,' and a letter from the editors of BUST magazine are included." - Reference & Research Book News
