Women, Work and Family
Women, Work and Family is a classic of women's history and is still the only text on the history of women's work in England and France, providing an excellent introduction to the changing status of women from 1750 to the present.
Women, Politics and Change
Women, Politics, and Change, a compendium of twenty-three original essays by social historians, political scientists, sociologists, psychologists, and anthropologists, examines the political history of American women over the past one hundred years.

The Rebellious Century, 1830-1930
Consistently provocative, thoroughly original in its methods and conclusions, this book questions virtually every assumption about the conditions underlying collective violence. Written by a sociologist, a historian, and an economist, the study presents a comparative history of group behaviour leading to violence in France, Italy, and Germany. The book demonstrates how urbanization, industrialization, and the concentration of political power in these and other Western countries have affected the means ordinary people have had to act together on their grievances and aspirations.
Class Conflict and Collective Action
The essays in this volume present the view that such collective actions as riots, protests, strikes and rebellions are coherent, if often unsuccessful attempts by working class people to defend or advance well-defined interests. Using as examples a series of case studies from 18th, 19th and 20th century Europe, the contributors present a new perspective on worker reactions to the strategies of the elite. '...the book and its argument are interesting, and the explicitness with which all the authors set up and investigate their hypotheses makes this an excellent collection for use on historical methods courses.' -- Urban History Yearbook 1983
