Book ID/图书代码： 14780004B09450

English Summary/英文概要： YA-Felder has put together an interesting history, chronicling the changes that have occurred over the last 100 years and highlighting the events and people that have revolutionized womanhood in America. The book begins with Carry Nation’s saloon visits, Mary McLeod Bethune’s founding of an institute, the creation of unions to protect and fight for the rights of women in the trade and garment industry, and the invention of the washing machine and twilight sleep techniques for painless childbirth. The book includes the 1990s’ hard-won battles to allow women to enter the military and military schools and studies that reflect the need to analyze whether teachers are giving girls the attention and education they need to be successful in life.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 选举权、平等工作权、性自由、节育以及打胎权
这卷女性历史概况，内容广泛全面、有趣，综观了整个二十世纪女性社会、经济以及政治地位上所经历的革命性的变革。从加特、ROSE SCHNEIDERMAN这样的女权运动者以及劳动运动积极分子们的奋斗拼搏讲到贝蒂﹒傅瑞丹的煽动性理念，我们看到了一群有远见、憧憬和勇敢的女性，为争取女性自由和平等努力奋斗。当然书中还提到了一系列意想不到的医学和科技的新发现----------电动洗衣机、分娩用的麻醉剂、预防产后猝死的磺胺药以及节育药等等-------这些新发明使女性的命运不再受到了生理条件的约束。这本历史类的图书既生动也有煽动性，它收纳了有突破意义的立法事件和最高法庭审判案例，此外它也没有忽略那些经常会发生冲突的文化势力-----譬如说，美国礼仪专家波斯特和美国的芭比娃娃的流行，到国际母乳会和ELLEN DEGENERES’S sitcom（网站）的建立---------这些文化元素塑造了当今世界女性生活的面貌。
〈女人的一个世纪〉是一本重要的历史书籍，既有令人惊叹的里程碑式的事迹也有让人心服口服的胜利凯旋，展示了一个令人敬畏的过去、一个值得拥抱的未来，百年璀璨成就点缀其中。

Awards/获奖情况：Organized on a decade-by-decade basis, this book claims to focus on "influential events that have shaped the destiny of women during each decade of the 20th century." A fascinating array of events has been selected, running the gamut from the founding of organizations like the League of Women Voters and the Girl Scouts, to the emergence of icons like Barbie, Betty Crocker, and Ann Landers, to the patenting of the brassiere. Each event is accompanied by a brief essay explaining and analyzing the topic under review. No area of American life is ignored?there are articles on fashion, medicine, literature, television, the magazine industry, and politics. A detailed appendix notes famous female "firsts." Despite the intrinsic appeal of the subject, though, scholars will find much to question. Idiosyncratic omissions like Geraldine Ferraro’s selection as the 1984 Democratic vice presidential nominee, the difficulty of summarizing the impact of both world wars on women, and the absence of an index all weaken this volume’s utility as a serious reference tool. For popular collections only.?Marie Marmo Mullaney, Caldwell Coll., NJ---From Library Journal
