Daily Life Of Women In The Progressive Era

by Kirstin Olsen

65,59€ + 10% CARD

 This book illustrates the social change that took place in the lives of women during the Progressive Era. The political and social change of the Progressive Era brought conflicts over labor, women''s rights, consumerism, religion, sexuality, and many other aspects of American life. As Americans argued and fought over suffrage and political reform, vast changes were also taking place in women''s professional, material, personal, recreational, and intellectual lives. In this installment of Greenwood''s Daily Life through History series, award-winning author Kirstin Olsen brings to life the everyday experiences, priorities, and challenges of women in America''s Progressive Era (ca. 1890-1920). From the barnstorming "bloomer girls" who showed America that women could play baseball to film star, tycoon, and co-founder of the Academy of Motion Pictures Mary Pickford, and from the highly skilled "Hello Girls"—telephone operators who helped win World War I—to the remarkable journalist and civil rights activist Ida Wells-Barnett, women led both famous and ordinary lives that were shaped by and helped to drive the dramatic social change taking place during the Progressive Era. All of this and more is described in this book through topical sections as well as stories and profiles that reveal to readers the daily lives of America''s women who lived during the Progressive Era. Readers will benefit from Olsen''s characteristically sharp eye for detail, power of description, and breadth of historical knowledge.
