?Because of the many important documents [this book] contains and
the light they cast on women's fight for equal rights in America,
it will be a useful addition to reference collections in the public
and academic libraries.?-Reference Books Bulletin
?Designed for the research needs of high school and college
students. The volume provides 125 documents organized into five
chronological periods from colonial times through 1993. While some
of these documents can be found elsewhere in basic reference
sources, others are not as readily available. The strength of this
source is that it pulls these documents together into a thematic
volume and makes them easily accessible. The introductory material
is very helpful and the documents are of readable lengths for high
school students. The chronological arrangement allows the user to
trace the development of the women's rights movement and could be
intergrated easily into a traditional U.S. history curriculum or a
thematic unit. The volume's arrangement and documentation enhances
its use for individual research needs.?-VOYA
