- Description
- This book documents the stories of relatively unknown women who organized to help gain employment for other women and also worked to raise the stature of homemakers. Numerous other issues for women were also addressed. Much of it centers on Washington, D.C., but also cities of Madison, Wisconsin and Miami, Florida. The fight for equality became more visible in the 1960s although the foundation had been laid as early as the 1950s, fueled by the post-World War II era.
