On Account of Sex: The Politics of Women's Issues, 1945-1968 Paperback - 1989

by Cynthia Harrison


From the publisher

Examining the political activities of the period between 1920, when women gained the right to vote, and the mid-1960s, when the women's movement revived, Cynthia Harrison illuminates a long-neglected but vital chapter of women's history.

First line

World War II put women into work they had never done before.

From the rear cover

"On Account of Sex is required reading for historians, political scientists, legislators and citizens who wish to influence the shaping of feminist public policy."--Linda Kerber, author of Women of the Republic

"Cynthia Harrison has written a splendid book--a fine combination of balanced historical narrative, penetrating social analysis, and provocative "nose-under-the-tentflap" political conclusions. It must be added to the list of indispensable works on women's politics and issues."--James MacGregor Burns, Williams College
