Bøger i Reform Movements in American History serien

The family values movement is a conservative movement that strongly supports traditional social values. This book offers students an objective look at this important movement, which has wielded great influence on the political landscape as well as attracted major controversy from its critics.

Both the women's suffrage and civil rights movements laid the groundwork for some of the groups featured in this book, who were often less visible than women and African Americans. It presents an examination of these nascent yet influential groups, whose rise in visibility has mirrored the changes occurring within the fabric of American society.

The women's rights movement grew out of the women's suffrage movement of the mid-1800s. The second wave of the movement, which promoted economic, political, and social equality, gained momentum in the 1960s and '70s. This work gives an introduction to one of the most prominent reform movements over the years.
