Abstract:
The Women's Chronology illuminates the effects of history on women - and their role in creating it - like no other available reference. Information once available only in scattered, hard-to-find sources is now at your fingertips in this accessible single volume
Abstract:
This lively chronicle of causes and effects brings to life the achievements, downfalls, trials, intrigues, discoveries, and talents of nearly 4,000 women. The more than 13,000 information-packed entries also detail historical developments of particular significance to women throughout time: from the three-million-year-old remains of Lucy to the development of the first female condom
Abstract:
Each entry is coded with a graphic symbol that clearly identifies one of 29 distinct areas of human endeavor, including: politics - and politically powerful women; human rights - sexual harassment, family leave,female castration, woman suffrage, the labor movement; science - astronomers, geneticists, mathematicians; medicine - physicians, nurses, and midwives, plus issues involving women's health and medical treatment; religion - religious orders, religious leaders, saints; education - educators, schools, colleges, and sororities; transportation; communications; literature; art; music; sports; architecture; crime; agriculture; nutrition; and more than a dozen other fields
