Feminism as Life's Work
Four Modern American Women through Two World Wars
Rutgers University Press
Tracing the intertwined lives and work of four women who carried forward the cause of feminism after the suffrage victory in 1920, this book recasts the “doldrums” of the women’s movement as a time of experimentation in new realms—the National Women’s Party; sexuality, marriage, and relations with men; and work and financial independence—and documents struggles that prefigure those of a later generation.

Leading the Way
Young Women's Activism for Social Change
Edited by Mary K. Trigg; Preface by Mary Hartman
Rutgers University Press
Leading the Way is a collection of personal essays written by twenty-one young, hopeful American women who describe their work, activism, leadership, and efforts to change the world. It responds to critical portrayals of this generation of "twenty-somethings" as being disengaged and apathetic about politics, social problems, and civic causes. This collection introduces readers to young women who are being prepared and empowered to assume leadership roles with men in all public arenas, and to accept equal responsibility for making positive social change in the twenty-first century.
