An Excellent, Updated Survey of the Women's Movement

This just-updated history of the women's movement is an excellent introduction to the field. The book surveys the 150-year history of the movement and provides lots of good-looking graphs and tables of the current situation.I use this book in my 2000-level course on race, gender and politics and find it very readable for my mostly 1st- and 2nd-year students. The students like the book as well.If you want a well-organized, readable, and current survey of the movement and the current status of women in America, I wholly recommend this book.
