Incorporating Women: A History of Women and Business in the United States (Twayne's Evolution of Modern Business Series)

Angel Kwolek-Folland presents an authoritztive, much-needed survey of women in business from the 1600s to the present day. She introduces some of the women--famous, infamous, and forgotten--who have been central to business throughout US history as workers, managers, and professionals. This stimulating narrative challenges our expectations about both the history of women and the history of business as it focuses on the changing legal and social climate for women's economic activities through the centuries.
