The readings explore such issues as wage labor and unionization, suffrage and civil rights, artistic representations of women, and domestic lives and women's health and sexuality. Collectively, the readings in Women in American History Since 1880 offer invaluable insights into the past that will contribute to our understanding of the diverse - and often contradictory - experiences of American women.
