9781611746723-204_2As you probably know by now, March is Women’s History Month — and what better way to mark the occasion than with NPR American Chronicles: Women’s Equality.

The audiobook — which is available from HighBridge Audio — explores the issues, struggles, and triumphs of the American women’s movement, from early pioneers to modern groundbreakers and leaders of today who fight to preserve hard-won rights. Profiles of Victoria Woodhull, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and Susan B. Anthony provide insights into the origins of the movement, while reflections from Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, Bella Abzug, Geraldine Ferraro, and others reveal the passion and dedication required to maintain progress in the continuing struggle for women’s equality.
