An invaluable resource for social studies and civics classes. Students will gain a better understanding and appreciation of citizens' fundamental rights and issues related to government and society with these books. This new series is certain to enlighten students about the Bill of Rights and the rights we have as citizens, which we sometimes take for granted.
Though our democracy is more than 200 years old, it was not so long ago, only about eighty years ago, that women gained the right to vote. This book surveys one of the most rapidly developing areas of civil rights, an area that reaches into the workplace and into the home and that has affected the behavior of men as well as women.
