"This enormously valuable volume will provide documentary source materials for [those] who are searching for voices of and about American women throughout the second half of the 20th century." — Library Journal
"A very current compendium that embraces the diversity of women's experience, this volume is accessible to a variety of audiences, but is particularly well suited to academics . . . Highly recommended." — Choice
"This work has many uses as part of an academic or public library or as a resource to be perused by high school or college students." — Feminist Collections
"This superb collection is the first to document U.S. women's history all the way to the end of the twentieth century, and offers a huge advantage in the classroom as well as a fascinating tour for any reader. Sigerman has chosen pertinent and eye-opening documents and introduced them with intelligent, informative, and responsible commentaries." — Nancy F. Cott, Jonathan Trumbull Professor of American History, Harvard University
"Scholars and readers . . . will find Sigerman's volume utterly compelling. [Her] crisp and cogent introductions limn the documents' historical contexts and interlink her well-defined sections. Richly evocative first-person documents, many not previously anthologized, bring us into the consciousness and feelings of highly diverse women." — Joyce Avrech Berkman, University of Massachusetts
