Images and Issues of Women in the Twentieth Century

Catherine Gourley does consulting for Martin Scorses's Film Foundation and was one of the featured presenters at this year's Teach, Think, Play conference. She just completed a really cool series of books for 8-12 graders on Women & Media. My wife, Nicole, loves Madonna, so it will be cool to check out Vol. 5. I think this is a topic that is not discussed enough in k-12 classes so it is great that she explores these representations of women in popular culture. The 5 book series includes:

Gibson Girls and Suffragists - Perceptions of Women from 1900 to 1918 [Volume 1]

Flappers and the New American Woman - Perceptions of Women from 1918 through the 1920s [Volume 2]

Rosie and Mrs. America : Perceptions of Women in the 1930s and 1940s [Volume 3]

Gidgets and Women Warriors : Perceptions of Women in the 1950s and 1960s [Volume 4]

Ms. and the Material Girls : Perceptions of Women from the 1970s through the 1990s [Volume 5]
