Description:
In recent decades, the role of women in the nineteenth century has generated a wealth of interdisciplinary scholarship. This volume brings together the most significant scholarship available in a concise, "one-stop" resource, providing both accessible overview articles and alphabetical encyclopedia-like entries. The authors emphasize areas in which scholars have identified important changes (such as suffrage and reform), illuminate areas in which researchers are now making great strides (such as racial, ethnic, religious, and regional diversity), and incorporate innovative and relatively recent explorations (for example, work on female sexuality) into a comprehensive, easy-to-use format.
