Description

Womanhoods and Equality in the United States explores how the idea of equality has evolved along with the debates that have animated contemporary American women’s history. This book argues that “womanhood” is neither a unified concept nor a monolithic experience but rather a multifaceted notion.

This collection thus looks at this plural dimension of womanhood—womanhoods—with a special focus on equality as a common goal.

The authors question what equality means depending on many factors such as race, class, sexuality, education, marital or parental status, physical appearance, and political orientation, and address timely issues including abortion rights, Black womanhood, and sexual violence on college campuses. Womanhoods and Equality in the United States is an essential resource for academics and students in gender studies, American sociocultural history, and the sociology of social movements.
