Description

"Ryan's elegant essays sketch a chronology of changing gender symbology and contribute to our understanding of the cultural construction of boundaries between public and private. Historians and feminists will pursue for some time her questions about the process and consequences of excluding women from the public arena and their striving for participation in it."--Lee Chambers-Schiller, American Historical Review. "An extremely important contribution to women's history. It reminds us... that women's emergence in public life during the twentieth century continues to open up new political possibilities."--Ruth Rosen, Women's Review of Books. The Johns Hopkins Symposia in Comparative History.
