Summary:  "Joan Marie Johnson examines an understudied dimension of women's history in the United States: how a group of affluent white women from the late nineteenth through the mid-twentieth centuries advanced the status of all women through acts of philanthropy. [...] Motivated by their own experiences with sexism, and focusing on women's need for economic independence, these benefactors sought to expand women's access to higher education, promote suffrage, and champion reproductive rights, as well as to provide assistance to working-class women." -- From dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Peosta Library Circulation Stacks 305.42 Joh 2017 Checked In Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
