Voices of American Women’s History from Reconstruction to the Present

Contemporary Accounts of Daily Life

KRISTINE ASHTON GUNNELL

Explores how race, class, religion, citizenship, marital status, and sexual identity have shaped women’s lives in the United States during the late 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.

Voices of American Women’s History illustrates that gender alone has never defined women’s experiences in America. In this volume, Kristine Ashton Gunnell shows that, as much as gender, race, class, religion, citizenship, and sexuality have historically directed the course of women’s lives in the United States for more than 200 years. Women from diverse backgrounds are represented in media and documents that include pamphlets, book excerpts, personal narratives, photographs, advertisements, congressional testimonies, and Supreme Court rulings. Such issues as abortion, marriage equality, domestic violence, and gender parity are shown from historical and contemporary angles, as this collection of primary sources allows readers and students to easily trace how women’s lives and histories have and continue to intersect. With a historical context for each selection, the book also features structured activities to help teachers with class discussion and exams, including suggestions for further reading, document analysis, essay questions, and manageable research assignments.

FEATURES

• Includes documents from the 1870s through the 2020s to facilitate discussions on historical and current issues

• Illustrates that gender alone does not define women’s experiences in America, as race, religion, citizenship, sexuality, and other identities have historically shaped women’s lives in the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries

• Incorporates a broad range of document types, including pamphlets, personal narratives, photographs, congressional testimonies, court decisions, advertisements, letters, posters, newspaper articles, and immigration investigations

• Activities, including document analysis, essay questions, and manageable research assignments, are designed to aid instructors with class discussions and exams

Women and Society around the World

Women make up half of the population of the world, yet their roles in society and the issues they face differ greatly from those of their male counterparts. In some corners of the world, women are deemed unworthy of an education; in other areas, women scientists are pioneers in their fields. This series investigates key topics that are important to women’s lives around the world, from education and politics to violence and employment.

Each volume in the series encompasses a global view of contemporary women, with chapters designed to focus on each world region. Regions discussed include North America, Latin America and the Caribbean, Europe, North Africa and the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and East Asia, South and Southeast Asia, and Oceania. While chapters discuss each region in general, specific examples of key traditions and customs help to shed light on cultural nuances among countries within each region. High school and general readers will be able to make cross-cultural comparisons, learning how views of women differ from culture to culture, how and why women face issues that men do not, and steps that are being taken to combat these challenges. A chronology, bibliography, and sidebars highlighting key women round out these introductory chapter books.

The Civil Rights Movement Facts and Fictions

DAVID G. HOLMES

Largely identified with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the civil rights movement continues to have a lasting impact on American politics and society. Though focused on African Americans, it helped make possible later protests by other groups. As one of the most important movements in modern U.S. history, it has been at the center of a number of historical misconceptions. This book examines some mistaken ideas about the civil rights movement and the truths behind the myths.

Each chapter is devoted to a particular historical misconception about the civil rights movement, such as the belief that Southern whites were not civil rights activists or that the movement ended with King. Chapters discuss how the misconception developed and spread, along with what we now believe to be the historical truth and why. Quotations from primary sources provide evidence for the historical facts and fictions, and a selected, general bibliography directs readers to additional sources of information.

ANNE LEEN is Professor of Classics Emerita at Furman University, editor of The Roman Funerary Inscriptions Project, and consulting editor of the Online Companion to The Worlds of Roman Women

Ancient Rome was one of the great civilizations of antiquity. Honoring the contributions of their cultural forbears—who included Etruscans, Asians, and Egyptians as well as Greeks–Romans artists, writers, and thinkers freely borrowed where tradition dictated and innovated where personal talent and imagination directed, forging a unique creative experience that formed the basis of Western European artistic, literary, and philosophical production for 2,000 years.

This reference is a guide to the material culture and social institutions of Ancient Rome. While other reference works typically examine battles and politicians, this book focuses on Roman social history and daily life. A timeline highlights key events, while an overview essay surveys the achievement of the Romans.

Encyclopedia of Hair

A Cultural History

2ND EDITION | VICTORIA SHERROW

How we style our hair has the ability to shape the way others perceive us. For example, in 2017, the singer Macklemore denounced his hipster undercut hairstyle, a style that is associated with Hitler Youth and alt-right men, and in 2015, actress Rose McGowan shaved her head in order to take a stance against the traditional Hollywood sex symbol stereotype.

This volume examines how hair—or lack thereof—can be an important symbol of gender, class, and culture around the world and through history. Hairstyles have come to represent cultural heritage and memory, and even political leanings, social beliefs, and identity. This second edition builds upon the original volume, updating all entries that have evolved over the last decade, such as by discussing hipster culture in the entries on beards and mustaches and recent medical breakthroughs in hair loss. New entries have been added that look at specific world regions, hair coverings, political symbolism behind certain styles, and other topics. An appendix of illuminating primary documents has also been added.

• Updated and expanded edition covers more topics and brings entries up-to-date

• Sidebars help to illuminate discussions pertaining to the overall topic of hair culture around the world

Finally, this book goes beyond the study of the unknown to investigate who believes in cryptids, why they do, and why the study of cryptozoology is as much about understanding cryptids as it is about understanding ourselves.

WILLIAM E. BURNS

This book is devoted to those human beliefs that fall in the “gray zone” between science, religion, and everyday life—call them superstitious, supernatural, magical, or just wrong.

They have continued to shape societies and cultures ever since.

More than 100 entries explain beliefs, discuss historical evidence, and explain how each belief differs across cultures.

Exploring World History through Geography

From the Cradle of Civilization to a Globalized World

JULIE CREA DUNBAR

From the early civilizations of ancient Mesopotamia to our present-day globalized society, readers will learn how humans interacted—and still interact—with the environment around them, as well as the environment’s role in not only shaping the society’s world view but enabling the building of socially stratified and successful civilizations. Not your run-ofthe-mill world history tome, this book examines world history through the closely related discipline of geography.

The civilizations and events represented in the book, while not exhaustive, were selected to highlight geographic themes and areas of study. Upon completing the book, readers should have a firm understanding of the expansive, cross-curricular study of geography— from the study of world cultures and history to politics to the environment and Earth’s physical processes. In addition, they will have a new understanding of the relevance of geography to not only human history but contemporary events, as well as their dayto-day lives. By presenting this history from a slightly different, geographic point of view, Exploring World History through Geography will inspire fresh curiosity in the world, both past and present.

PETER LOUIS BONFITTO, EDITOR

“Notable for emphasizing cultural importance over time, these densely informative volumes will attract architecture aficionados, professional or amateur.”

Library Journal, February 1, 2022

This two-volume encyclopedia provides an in-depth look at buildings and sites of global significance throughout history. The volumes are separated into four regional sections: 1) the Americas, 2) Europe, 3) Africa and the Middle East, and 4) Asia and the Pacific. Four regional essays investigate the broader stylistic and historical contexts that describe the development of architecture through time and across the globe. Entries explore the unique importance of buildings and sites, including the megalithic wonder of Stonehenge and the imposing complex of Angkor Wat.

Entries on Spanish colonial missions in the Americas and the medieval Islamic universities of the Sahara connect to broader building traditions. Other entries highlight remarkable stories of architectural achievement and memory, like those of Tuskegee University, a site hand-built by former slaves, or the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park, which was built at the site of the atomic detonation. Each entry focuses on the architectural but includes strong consideration of the social impact, importance, and significance each structure has had in the past and in the present.

LINDA S. WATTS is professor of American studies in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at the University of Washington, Bothell.

KELTY CLARK-MAHONEY is a chef, educator, and independent scholar focused on issues of food insecurity and sustainability.

Whether because of its necessity, pleasure, or ubiquity, the world of food (and its lore) proves endlessly fascinating to most people. The story of food is a narrative filled with both human striving and human suffering. However, many of today’s diners are only dimly aware of the human price exacted for that comforting distance from the lived-world realities of food justice struggles. With attention to food issues ranging from local farming practices to global supply chains, this book examines how food’s history and geography remain inextricably linked to sociopolitical experiences of trauma connected with globalization, such as colonization, conquest, enslavement, and oppression. The main text is structured alphabetically around a set of 70 ingredients, from almonds to yeast. Each ingredient’s story is accompanied by recipes. Along with the food profiles, the encyclopedia features sidebars. These are short discussions of topics of interest related to food, including automats, diners, victory gardens, and food at world’s fairs. This project also brings a social justice perspective to its content—weighing debates concerning food access, equity, insecurity, and politics.

FEATURES

• Consolidates the historical and geographical “backstory” of common foods and ingredients

• Poses possibilities in terms of the ways food studies can contribute to building a more inclusive, equitable, and humane world

• Considers the future of food, as informed by phenomena from climate change to global pandemic

• Includes adapted recipes with an in-depth analysis of ingredients

NEW Chocolate

A Cultural Encyclopedia

ROSS F. COLLINS

No food in the world can offer as storied a history as chocolate.

Why did popes and kings so fear their chocolate? Who invented milk chocolate, and why was its formula kept secret? Why did soldiers in World War II despise their chocolate rations? Who makes the most chocolate today?

Understanding Issues and Influences

2 VOLUMES

JILLIAN M. DUQUAINE-WATSON, EDITOR

Booklist, May 15, 2022

Women are more likely than men to experience mood disorders, certain types of cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke, arthritis, lupus, and celiac disease. In addition, women face significantly more barriers to health care than men due to a variety of social, economic, political, and environmental factors, including inequality, poverty, legislation, and pollution. Despite this, the field of women’s and girls’ health remains both understudied and underfunded. Women’s Health: Understanding Issues and Influences explores important topics in the field of women’s health in the early 21st century, offering readers a comprehensive and informative yet accessible introduction to women’s health in the United States. While some topics are unique to women’s health, others illustrate how women’s health and women’s experiences within the U.S. health care system are different from men’s, as well as how certain health issues impact women differently than men. Entries have been crafted by a diverse team of contributors with wide-ranging expertise, and each entry features a collection of further readings and cross references to other relevant entries.

FEATURES

• Provides a comprehensive overview of a broad range of topics relevant to women’s physical, mental, and social health

• Identifies and explains factors that contribute to health inequities and health disparities for women overall as well as for different subpopulations of women

• Offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the biological, economic, social, environmental, and political factors that influence women’s health and well-being

• Draws on the expertise and experience of a diverse team of contributors, including academic researchers, health care providers, policy analysts, social workers, public health professionals, and activists.

• Addresses important changes in women’s health in the past 50 years as well as significant health-related policies, legal decisions, and social movements that have facilitated such changes

“A worthy addition to public, school, and consumerhealth libraries.”

Despite some similarities with men, women have unique health needs and face a variety of health issues that are quite different from those faced by men.

Innovations and Milestones That Changed the World

TISH DAVIDSON

We take many modern medical devices and techniques for granted, but everything from hypodermic needles and baby incubators to organ transplants, antibiotics, and hearing aids began simply as ideas in someone’s mind. And while such concepts as formal medical education, methodical clinical trials, and universal healthcare may seem commonplace today, this wasn’t always the case. Some of these innovations and milestones met with resistance from society and medical professionals, while others were embraced almost overnight.

Medical Firsts: Innovations and Milestones That Changed the World profiles more than 50 turning points in the history of medicine, spanning from the 11th through 21st centuries. The book also highlights key trailblazers, such as the first American dentist, first microbiologist, and first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Each entry begins with a description of how the first came to be, followed by discussion of the historical context in which it emerged and its enduring impact. Sources for further information are provided at the end of each entry and serve as a gateway to further study.

FEATURES

• Highlights medical firsts from a variety of fields and specialties, including surgery, obstetrics, genetics, and medical education

Such a layout makes it simple for a reader to find information about a particular religion in a particular era and place.
