Teens today can hardly conceive of a world in which women did not have the right to vote and women''s domain truly was the home. Showing the long way that American women have come, this book reviews the major events in the fight for women’s rights. The narrative focuses on important leaders and the reforms that they demanded—and organized to win. The authors trace a fascinating path from the colonial period, when women’s roles were highly circumscribed, to today’s era of fifty-percent representation in the workplace.
