New York: William Morrow / Harper Collins, 2004. 7th Printing. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. 6x2x9. Signed by author. 7th printing. Inscribed and signed by author on half-title page ('To the Mihalyov family - who are working on the next chapter. Gail Collins'). Spine base lightly pushed. 2004 Hard Cover. xvii, 556 pp. "From the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs, America's Women tells the story of how women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America. Spanning wars, the pioneering days, the fight for suffrage, the Depression, the era of Rosie the Riveter, the civil rights movement, and the feminist rebellion of the 1970s, this book describes the way women's lives were altered by dress fashions, medical advances, rules of hygiene, social theories about sex and courtship, and the ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. While keeping her eye on the big picture, Gail Collins still notes that corsets and uncomfortable shoes mattered a lot too.
