Book Description
This book is a sequel to Williamstown and Williams College: Explorations in Local History (2018). It is a collection of microstudies, or microhistories, each of them focused on a single narrowly-defined topic in the local history of Williamstown and its most notable local institution, Williams College. Griffin writes clearly and engagingly about places, events of the town and college from the 18th century through the 60s, and remarkable people. The essays are arranged in three sections: the history of the town; topics that involve both town and college; and episodes in the history of the college. Within each section the essays are arranged in rough chronological order. Readers with a particular interest are invited to dive in anywhere.

Shirley Chisholm
Author: Barbara Winslow
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 042997275X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 175
Book Description
A staunch proponent of breaking down racial and gender barriers, Shirley Chisholm had the esteemed privilege of being a pioneer in many aspects of her life. She was the first African American woman from Brooklyn elected to the New York State legislature and the first African American woman elected to Congress in 1968. She also made a run for the Democratic Party nomination for president in 1972. Focusing on Chisholm's lifelong advocacy for fair treatment, access to education, and equal pay for all American minority groups, this book explores the life of a remarkable woman in the context of twentieth-century urban America and the tremendous social upheaval that occurred after World War II. About the Lives of American Women series: Selected and edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin, these brief biographies are designed for use in undergraduate courses. Rather than a comprehensive approach, each biography focuses instead on a particular aspect of a woman's life that is emblematic of her time, or which made her a pivotal figure in the era. The emphasis is on a 'good read', featuring accessible writing and compelling narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship and academic integrity. Primary sources at the end of each biography reveal the subject's perspective in her own words. Study questions and an annotated bibliography support the student reader.
