Description

Different Voices: Women in United States History, Fourth edition differs significantly from previous editions: forty-percent of the former content has been removed to make way for substantial new text based upon updated research. There are additional images throughout, and two new features - Milestones and Coming to America- as well as revisions of the former Mothers of Invention and Clio’s corner. Different Voices is a comprehensive textbook for the study of Women's History; written in an engaging narrative style with insightful detail of topics not covered in other Women's History books such as: Women of New Spain, the Latina Feministas Movement, outstanding women in professions and religious vocations, and women's culture in Victorian America. This text is inclusive of a wide range of ethnicities and embraces women of African, Asian, Native American and Latina heritage. Of particular interest, are chapters which feature medical practices which affected women's health and the bold innovations in medicine which contributed to contemporary concepts about the female body. Formatted as a survey text, with a multidimensional and multicultural approach. it was the first of its kind in American Women's History.  Different Voices includes the following features:
- Primary sources such as diaries, letters, and legal documents
- Chapter outlines, maps, chronologies, and concise clear footnote definitions
- Appended historical documents
- Vignettes of women who made a significant contribution to American Life
- A chapter by chapter discourse on historical theory
- Over 100 photographs, images, and illustrations
- An extensive thematic bibliography of references
