Synopsis
This book is a general introduction to the work of significant women's historians concerning some of the main problems of the field of women's history. The questions explored are some of the central issues in women's history today. They include the problem of defining feminism; exploring whether sisterhood was powerful across the boundaries of class, ethnicity, and race; the uses to which women put the "Cult of True Womanhood"; the question of solidarity between men and women; the problem of women's protective labor legislation; the problem of occupational sex segregation; how woman suffrage triumphed; the dilemma of post-suffrage feminism; and the problem of ideology in art. Anyone who wants to understand what the new women's history is all about will find this short guide useful.Book Details
