[YL] women's history

[Cynthia Samuels]

I'm betting that plenty of the Blog Against Sexism has historic value.  My
post, linked below, is about, among other things, Betty Friedan.

Hi Matt,

Many years ago, Ms. Magazine ran a monthly series called "Lost Women." These
were profiles of women whose historical contributions had been "lost" over
the years and included (as I recall) Latina and African American women, as
well as women of other races/ethnicities. There is a great book called "When
and Where I Enter: The Impact of Black Women on Race and Sex in America", by
Paula Giddings (1984), which provides an excellent look at African American
women in history. I hope these resources are helpful.
