Women in American History


Acquiring Editor: Dawn Durante
Women in American History seeks to publish books that address the varieties of American women's experiences across race, region, class, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, and other categories of identity and difference. The series editors welcome projects that are explicitly comparative in focus and those that provide in-depth explorations of particular groups, institutions, events, and eras.
