- catalog abstract ""This collection enriches our understanding of the history of modern Florida and the role women played in it. To a degree greater than any other southern state in the twentieth century, Florida experienced dramatic economic, political, social, and environmental challenges, and Florida's women were in the forefront of the great social and political responses to those challenges. These thirteen essays describe the contributions made by women in urban renewal, civil liberties, civil rights, child welfare, labor unions, education, environmental protection, rural extension work, and women's liberation."--Jacket.".
