U.S. Women's History

Untangling the Threads of Sisterhood

Rutgers University Press

Spanning the antebellum era to the present day, the ten original essays in U.S. Women's History represent a cross-section of current scholarship, examining both the causes that have united American women and the conflicts that have divided them. The book offers a fresh take on familiar events and figures, from Rosa Parks to Take Back the Night marches, while vividly conveying the multi-textured and multi-hued tapestry that is U.S. women’s history.

Scarlet and Black

Slavery and Dispossession in Rutgers History

Rutgers University Press

Like most early American colleges, Rutgers depended on slaves to build its campuses and serve its students and faculty. The contributors offer this history as a usable one—to strengthen Rutgers and help direct its course for the future.
