Beschreibung:
This biography of Barbara Egger Lennon artfully demonstrates how individual women negotiated the demands of family and friends as they moved toward the independence and autonomous thinking the New Woman celebrated. Lennon s long career as an educator and labor activists is a shining example of how the New Woman carried her identity into the workplace. Tonia Compton, assistant professor of History, Columbia University
