Strom (history, U. of Rhode Island) presents a fine overview of the women's rights movement in the US from the American Revolution to recent times, with each of the volume's 15 chapters devoted to a problem and related developments, from factory women's turnouts in the period after the American Revolution to Title IX and women in sport. Each chapter begins with an introduction and discussion of relevant issues and the events that took place, followed by an annotated reading guide, notes, and a selection of original documents that shed light on the issues.
