Description
Data is fundamental to the modern world. From economic development, to healthcare, to education and public policy, we rely on numbers to allocate resources and make crucial decisions. But because so much data fails to take into account gender, because it treats men as the default and women as atypical, bias and discrimination are baked into our systems. And women pay tremendous costs for this bias, in time, money, and often with their lives.

This book explores how women's struggle for social and political equality is reflected in their clothing. For example, were enormous hoop skirts, tightly-laced corsets, controversial trousers, or revealing miniskirts simply fashion trends, or deliberate statements about societal values? Historic images and other primary sources reveal an intriguing relationship between women fighting for their rights and their image reflected in the mirror.--Back...

The legacy of that rift is still evident today in American politics and social policies,"--NoveList.

With laugh-out-loud impertinence and tongue-in-cheek humor, a New York Times best-selling author profiles the unforgettable, impressive 19th- and early 20th-century women—unjustly called sluts, shrews, sinners and scolds—who refused to conform to social standards and who were collectively unbecoming as women, but forever changed what women can become.

"Historians and genealogists have mostly overlooked the role of women in the American Revolution, even though women's roles in working their farms, raising their children, and generally supporting the morale of the Patriot side were of great importance. The suffering of the men at Valley Forge, on the British prison ships, and during long marches is well documented; however, women also faced daily pain and hardship. Many times they watched their homes...
