NPR AMERICAN CHRONICLES: WOMEN'S EQUALITY

Since its incorporation in 1970, NPR has been a well-regarded, award-winning source for national and international news. As such, its audio archives are a wonderful resource for a historical perspective on a range of issues, including the issue tackled in the most recent compilation: women’s equality. This fascinating collection of NPR news stories ranges from on-the-ground reporting of women’s liberation events to profiles of important leaders in the Women’s Movement over the past two centuries. Each piece is introduced and put into context by NPR journalist Susan Stamberg, who adds a personal touch to the collection by explaining in the introduction how the movement has impacted her own career.
