MAKERS: Women Who Make America tells the remarkable story of the
most sweeping social revolution in American history, as women have
asserted their rights to a full and fair share of political power,
economic opportunity, and personal autonomy. It’s a revolution
that has unfolded in public and private, in courts and Congress, in the
boardroom and the bedroom, changing not only what the world expects from
women, but what women expect from themselves.
