McBride's and Parry's attention to the historic evolution of women's rights policies and the differential impact of policy on various subgroups of women are particular strengths." -- Susan J. Carroll, Rutgers University "Produced from the winning partnership between Janine Parry and Dorothy McBride, the fifth edition of Womens Rights in the USA provides students, teachers, and scholars with a unique and empirically-rich source. Masterfully assessing the full range of areas where governments promote womens rights and gender equality, the book maps out the messy start to finish process of policy development, including key information on practice and outcomes. This edition takes intersectionality and nuanced approaches to gender seriously by bringing-in new analyses of women in poverty, gay marriage, lesbian rights, and racial politics. The enhanced visual materials make it even more student and teacher friendly making the books intersectional, historical, cross-sectoral, multi-level and comparative perspectives highly useful and effective for undergraduate classrooms." -- Amy G. Mazur, Washington State University "Women's Rights in the USA continues to be the gold standard for any class involving women's policy. The mix of policy history and development with up-to-date topics, like emergency contraception, eldercare, and pay equity, gives the ideal background to undergraduates or graduate students alike." -- Tracy Osborn, University of Iowa
