This is a well illustrated and interesting history of USA women from 1900-1918, first in a series covering the 20th century. I would judge it to be suitable for middle school through adult. The author, on the one hand, explains that circulation of a serial means readership, and other terms that most adults hopefully know. On the other hand, I was introduced to a number of woman whom I was unfamiliar with. I didn't know that "suffragist" and "suffragette" meant slightly different things. The illustrations are historic photographs, drawings, advertisements, etc. The text is foot-noted, and between the selected bibliography and sources for further reading, gives the reader a substantial number of references to other sources, including websites. It has a rather mediocre index. It has insets, i.e., sections of texts distinct from the main text, which I find somewhat irritating, but so popular is this format that I most suppose it works for most people. In all, I found this to be worth-while reading and a good introduction to the topic. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Who were the Gibson Girls and who were the Suffragists? They weren't specific individuals, but rather symbols that defined women from the turn of the twentieth century through the end of World War I. Gibson Girls were flirtatious and feisty. They drove motor cars and donned bloomers to play a new game called basketball. Some were ladies of polite society, while others were immigrants who did their best to be fashionable on their paltry earnings. the Suffragists, on the other hand, were more concerned with social justice than fashion. They fought for the right to vote for all American women, demanded safer work conditions and better wages for working women, and called for better living conditions for impoverished families. As the girls and women of the postwar decade asked themselves ''Who do I want to become?'' the media of the times tried to influence their paths. Magazines, sheet music, and celebrities idealized femininity and fashion. While the Gibson Girls paid attention, the Suffragists marched into the world to make changes.
