WOMEN ARE HERE TO STAY

by Agnes Rogers · Harper

5 wks on list

"Here is a pictorial account of what American women have been doing for the past fifty years or so, and why. Roughly chronological (but not troublesomely so), it depicts the Sheltered Lady of the early years of the century; the Companion and Rival to Man who shone in the middy-blouse era; the Flapper, Sophisticate, and Career Woman who dominated the nineteen-twenties; the Children of the Depression who longed for security; and the current product of the nineteen-forties--ex-WAACS, ex-WAVES, bobby-soxers, servantless housewives, and the rest." -- $c Book jacket.
