Women and Social Change in America

A Survey of a Century of Progress

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines modern advances in gender equality and contemporary feminist discourse as a result of the American sexual revolution. It explains how and why the sexual revolution of the 1960s continues to have profound effects on modern views of femininity and what it means to be an American woman. Chapters cover how effective and available birth control affected women's advancement, the breakdown of traditional gender roles, and women's entrance into formerly male-dominated occupations.
