Unequal Sisters

American History / Women's Studies This essential work provides an unparalleled resource for understanding women's history in the United States today. With its broad, multicultural approach, Unequal Sisters revolutionized the field when it was first published in 1990. This fourth edition brings together essays from the previous three editions, along with new perspectives and voices, including some of the most innovative work that has been done since the last edition was published. With fifteen essays new to this volume, Unequal Sisters continues to emphasize feminist perspectives on race, ethnicity, region, and sexuality, while placing U.S. women's history in its global context. The book also includes completely revised and updated bibliographies on women of color. A groundbreaking volume, now revised to include the best of recent scholarship, Unequal Sisters is an illuminating guide to a more accurate and inclusive history of women in the United States today.
