Trade Review
"This important book is a vital contribution to the growing body of scholarship which is changing our understanding of twentieth-century feminism. From its formation in 1881 as the Association of Collegiate Alumnae to this moment the AAUW has been major force in the American women's movement. As the world has changed, so has it. Susan Levine's book is must reading for scholars in women's history and in organizational theory." --Anne Firor Scott, W.K. Boyd Professor of History Emeirta, Duke University
