- Description
- The twenty years on either side of the turn of the nineteenth century brought fundamental change and expansion to the roles and opportunities of American women. In these years women gained access to all levels of education, almost all the professions, a much wider range of jobs, and opportunities for a measure of financial independence and greater personal freedom. Matthews chronicles the changing fortunes and transformations of the organized suffrage movement.
