Encyclopedia of women social reformers

The accomplishments of hundreds of women are recognized in the "Encyclopedia of Women Social Reformers", a reference work that ranges across the world and from the eighteenth century to the present. Special features include coverage of women's activism around the world and focus on the lives of women little known outside their native countries. The encyclopedia covers social reformers in many areas: health care; medicine; housing; the environment; civil rights; labor legislation; family reform; birth control; suffrage and other issues affecting the daily lives of ordinary people.
