Woman The American History of an Idea

Woman: The American History of an Idea

What does it mean to be a "woman" in America? In Woman: The American History of an Idea, acclaimed scholar Lillian Faderman provides a sweeping, 400-year chronicle of the evolving struggle to define womanhood. From the restrictive Puritan ideals of the seventeenth century to the complex landscape of the twenty-first, this exhaustive and masterfully written book traces the conflicts, defeats, and hard-won victories that have shaped American society. For scholars, students, and anyone interested in the history of gender, feminism, and social change, this original imported edition is a vital, authoritative resource.

Discover What Makes This Book Essential

Lillian Faderman, a renowned expert in gender and sexuality studies, brings her deep expertise to this ambitious survey. She moves beyond mainstream narratives to shine a light on the often-overlooked battles of enslaved women, Indigenous leaders, and those who lived outside the traditional definitions of their time. By framing "woman" as a contested idea rather than a fixed state, Faderman offers a fresh, thought-provoking perspective that challenges readers to reconsider their understanding of history.

The true value of this book is its inclusivity and intellectual rigor. Whether you are studying the impact of the sexual revolution, the reversals of the 1960s, or the modern-day complexities of gender identity, this book provides the historical context necessary to make sense of our contemporary debates. It is an "intelligently provocative" work that is as educational as it is relevant.
