America’s Women

by Gail Collins

Format: Paperback

In her introduction, Gail Collins describes this book best, “The history of American woman is about the fight for freedom, but it’s less a war against men than a struggle to straighten out the perpetually mixed message about women’s role that was accepted by almost everybody of both genders.” Wity, pithy, and informative, this page-turner is imbedded with humor as it outlines the stories, struggles, tragedies, and triumphs of American women you know and those you don’t. At the Tenement Museum, numerous themes thread through recreated apartments and curated stories. Predominant are the stories of Woman; their choices, how they respond to them and how work, paid and unpaid, is essential to each of their households.
