Product Description
The twentieth century saw female roles change more rapidly than during any other period of history. In 1900 women were domestic creatures: wives, mothers, workers and ornaments. Some had long sought new rights and freedoms. In the course of a turbulent century'which included two World Wars and an explosion in technology and communications'women gained a vote and a voice and by 2000 had permeated every male bastion from the professional workplace to the corridors of power.
