Selected by a team of top women historians from across the nation & the editors of Ladies' Home Journal,Ó the women in this book helped bring about a major transformation in the role of women in the 20th century. Narrowing the choice down to just 100 names was a daunting task. But some names practically suggested themselves: Eleanor Roosevelt, Rachel Carson, Betty Friedan, Margaret Sanger, Mary McLeon Bethune, & Gloria Steinem. Not everyone will agree with every choice made for this book, but these women will influence our lives for untold years to come. They are listed in 7 categories: activists & politicians, writers & journalists, doctors & scientists, entrepreneurs, artists & entertainers, athletes, & pioneers & adventurers. Photos.

Download The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
A hundred years ago, any soapbox orator who called for women's suffrage, laws protecting the environment, an end to lynching, or a federal minimum wage was considered a utopian dreamer or a dangerous socialist. Now we take these ideas for granted -- because the radical ideas of one generation are often the common sense of the next. We all stand on the shoulders of earlier generations of radicals and reformers who challenged the status quo of their day. Unfortunately, most Americans know little of this progressive history. It isn't taught in most high schools. You can't find it on the major television networks. In popular media, the most persistent interpreter of America's radical past is Glenn Beck, who teaches viewers a wildly inaccurate history of unions, civil rights, and the American Left. The 100 Greatest Americans of the 20th Century, a colorful and witty history of the most influential progressive leaders of the twentieth century and beyond, is the perfect antidote.

Download A Century of Women Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
Comprehensive and riveting, this important volume on women's history surveys the revolutionary changes in the social, economic, and political status of women during the twentieth century. From the battles of suffragists and labor activists such as Carrie Chapman Catt and Rose Schneiderman to the provocative ideas of Betty Friedan, here are the women of vision and courage who fought for equality and freedom. But here too are the unexpected medical and technological discoveries that removed a woman's destiny from the restrictions of biology -- the electric washing machine, anesthesia for childbirth, sulfa drugs to stop post-partum deaths, the birth control pill, and more. This lively and provocative history covers groundbreaking legislation and Supreme Court rulings, yet it doesn't neglect the often conflicting cultural forces -- from Emily Post and Barbie to the founding of the La Leche League and Ellen DeGeneres's sitcom -- that have shaped women's lives in today's world.
