Women's lives have been shaped by race, class, culture and gender. Yet, typically, in the field of women's history, the white, middle-class woman has stood for all women. Ellen DuBois and Vicki Ruiz have brought together a group of essays that acknowledge and explore the diversity of womens' lives in the USA. The contributors explore the issues of waged work, family life, political activism, community building and sexual difference from a multicultural perspective.
