IT’S HERE! ‘Women’s Equality in America’ is available now. In the book, we journey from Witch Trials to #MeToo, from Shakespeare’s Wife to Riot Grrls, from the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848 to America’s elections in 2022. The issue of women’s equality can be an emotional one, but the book respects feelings on both sides, for example, why some felt women’s right to vote was essential and others found it threatening. It also takes racial matters into consideration along with issues such as the men’s rights movement and the concept of reverse discrimination. ‘Women’s Equality in America’ draws connections, cites major players, and shows how this issue is relevant in our time.
