Comprehensive analysis of women’s role in the social movements of the 1960s and 1970s, including the struggle for Civil Rights and against the Vietnam War, leading to “A Movement of One’s Own” to achieve inclusion in society as full citizens. Presenting a diverse range of experiences and perspectives, building on the heroic heritage of women from years past, and introducing us to reformers and innovators whose names may not be well known, but whose activism and actions affected the world in which we live today. Told with a historian’s clear gaze, the transformational changes achieved by this generation are compared to retrenchment in our own time, from liberal progress back to radical conservatism.

This volume features some of the beautiful and illuminating artworks created by the artists who traveled with European explorers. It also includes excerpts of the writings of the explorers. These histories are fascinating but often horrifyingly colonialist. It's a startling look into the minds of the Europeans of this era.
