Críticas:

"Designed for the research needs of high school and college students. The volume provides 125 documents organized into five chronological periods from colonial times through 1993. While some of these documents can be found elsewhere in basic reference sources, others are not as readily available. The strength of this source is that it pulls these documents together into a thematic volume and makes them easily accessible. The introductory material is very helpful and the documents are of readable lengths for high school students. The chronological arrangement allows the user to trace the development of the women's rights movement and could be intergrated easily into a traditional U.S. history curriculum or a thematic unit. The volume's arrangement and documentation enhances its use for individual research needs."-VOYA "Because of the many important documents [this book] contains and the light they cast on women's fight for equal rights in America, it will be a useful addition to reference collections in the public and academic libraries."-Reference Books Bulletin "Because of the many important documents Ythis book contains and the light they cast on women's fight for equal rights in America, it will be a useful addition to reference collections in the public and academic libraries."-Reference Books Bulletin ?Because of the many important documents [this book] contains and the light they cast on women's fight for equal rights in America, it will be a useful addition to reference collections in the public and academic libraries.?-Reference Books Bulletin ?Designed for the research needs of high school and college students.

Reseña del editor:

The 125 historical documents in this unique volume bring to life the triumphs, disappointments, and enduring contributions of women's struggle for equal rights in America. This work also reveals often-surprising sources of opposition, such as Abraham Lincoln and the U.S. Supreme Court. Organized into five chronological periods, the documents provide a flavor for the time period in which they were written. Each period and each document is preceded by an explanatory introduction that puts it in historical context. A chronology of significant dates in the history of American women's rights, a topically organized bibliography, and a list of women's organizations for further information completes the work.
