ActionsBreaking away from traditional categories, Rachel G. Fuchs and Victoria E. Thompson provide a sense of the variety and complexity of women's lives across national and regional boundaries, juxtaposing the experiences of women with the perceptions of their lives. Three themes unite this study:
- the tension between tradition and modernity
- the changing relationship between the community and individual
- the shifting boundaries between public and private
Dealing with individual women's lives within a large social and cultural context, Fuchs and Thompson demonstrate how strong and courageous women refused to live within the prescribed domestic roles - and how many became the modern women of the twentieth century.
VICTORIA E. THOMPSON is Associate Professor of History at Arizona State University.

- Many questions and comments to introduce students to the use of poetic devices.
- Suggestions for follow up activities
- A wide choice of poets, each with a brief biography
