A Century of Women: The History of Women in Britain and the United StatesViking, 1997 - 752 páginas Rowbotham charts the remarkable changes and interchanges in the lives of British and American women over the last 100 years, recording not only the effects of events but also the varied ways that women themselves have shaped this century and changed its course. From the nameless women who marched for the vote, stood on picket lines or refused to ride on segregated buses, to the politicians, poets and film stars whose faces fill our newspapers and television screens - all are given their place and their stories told. |
