Liberation Summer - The Moment That Changed the Women's Movement and the Future of American Politics

From Pulitzer Prize finalist and historian Micki McElya, a sweeping work of history in the tradition of Rick Perlstein and Stacy Schiff that, for the first time, fully explores a critical but often-overlooked moment in our history—the September 1968 dual protests of the Miss America and Miss Black America pageants in Atlantic City—and its lasting impact on the trajectory of women's rights in America.
