Near-new copy - No marks or writing - 10 x 7 - 660 pages - NP remainder marks - Featuring a mix of primary source documents, articles, and illustrations, Women's America: Refocusing the Past has long been an invaluable resource. Now in its sixth edition, the book has been extensively revised and updated to cover recent events in American women's history. It provides many new selections from leading theorists and historians and restores several readings that were cut from the fifth edition. Successfully classroom-tested, these new essays offer more material on the impact of ethnicity in American culture, the roles that women have played in the creation of male-dominated structures, and the international dimensions of women's lives. The introductory essay has been revised and the bibliography has been updated to take into account the growing body of contemporary literature in the field. Women's America is an essential text for courses in women's history and an ideal supplement for more general survey courses on American history.

He just needed to record his feelings about people and animals and things he cared about. His first story, ''Ridin' Along in Safety with Kennedy and Kuralt,'' told about being young and a musician, and how playing ''The Wabash Cannonball'' one day in a roadside bar changed the rest of his life. The Des Moines Register printed the essay, and people began asking for more. The result is Old Songs in a New Cafe.
