Women's
History in America
http://www.wic.org/misc/history.htm
Throughout most of history women have had fewer legal rights and
career opportunities than men. Wifehood and motherhood were
regarded as women's most significant professions. In the 20th century,
however, women in most nations won the right to vote and increased
their educational and job opportunities. Perhaps most important,
they fought for and to a large degree accomplished a reevaluation
of traditional views of their role in society. Includes many biographies. |
