Sister Societies
ISBN: 9780875803388 / Angielski / Twarda / 243 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Alongside national organizations with charismatic male leaders, these grassroots efforts by ordinary women brought about social reform, changed the meaning of political action, and, in the process, redefined gender roles. Significantly, women moved from behind-the-scenes moral suasion into the political arena at a time when the question of slavery in the United States was developing from a humanitarian concern into a hotly contested partisan issue....
