First paper reprint of the 1987 Wesleyan edition. Meyer (history, Wesleyan) elucidates the relationship between economic and political power and the rise of women from subordinate status in four countries. He tells of male domination during the decades since industrialization, the invisibility of women on the public scene, their relegation to the private sphere of marriage and family, their slow progress in the face of both inner and outer resistence.
