When the first edition of this groundbreaking survey of U.S. women s history first appeared in 1986, no one could have predicted its spectacular success and widespread support or the vast proliferation of women s history courses in the nation s high schools, colleges, and universities. Informed by the generous feedback of many of Inventing s loyal users student readers and instructors from every region of the nation the fourth edition of Glenda Riley s dynamic text remains the most inclusive, accessible, and affordable choice as a core text for the Women s History course, as well as useful supplementary reading for courses in Women s Studies and the U.S. survey. Completely up to date, with expanded coverage of women in the military, sports, women s healthcare, divorce, and women of color especially Spanish-speaking, American Indian, African American, and Asian American women this well-balanced, interpretive account portrays the myriad of women s experiences as they shaped and were shaped by American history, and redounds as a remarkable feat of insight and inclusion. As always, each volume features a stunning photographic essay, a visual account from the colonial era to the present.
