ISBN: 9780299191047 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Included is an appendix of significant poems by Russian women, some published...

ISBN: 9780300052541 / Angielski / Miękka / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Nineteenth-century middle-class Protestant women were fervent in their efforts to "do good."

During the antebellum...

ISBN: 9780300065480 / Angielski / Miękka / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Teenage pregnancy is widely viewed as a significant social problem. In this path-breaking book, prominent American and British researchers in law, psychology, sociology, medicine, philosophy, and history argue that the problem is not so much teenagers who want sex too soon, but a society that offers too little help too late-too little birth-control information, too few job opportunities, and too little reason for many low-income teenagers to stay in school and delay childbearing.

Based on an extraordinary array of diaries and letters, this engaging book explores the shifting experiences of adolescent girls in the late nineteenth century.
