Spanning four centuries of history, America's Women describes the way women's lives have been altered by medical advances, social theories about sex and courtship, and ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. Gail Collins, the editorial page editor at the New York Times, chronicles not only the lives of the famous, but also those of everyday women -- their families, careers and personal choices.

From contraception to corsets, and from equal rights to the tyranny of fashion, Collins relates the compelling, heartbreaking, funny and inspirational history of women as they made lives for themselves and their families in a new world.

Gail Collins is the Editor of the Editorial Page at the New York Times -- the first woman to hold this position. Before that, she wrote the "Public Interest" column for paper's Op-Ed page, was a member of the editorial board, and was a columnist for The New York Daily News and New York Newsday. She is the author of Scorpion Tongues: Gossip, Celebrity and American Politics.

"Gail Collins's book is the best survey of American women's history we have. It is a rich and absorbing story, carried along by humor, deep feeling, and superb historical intelligence." -- Christine Stansell, professor of history, Princeton University, and author of American Moderns--Kirkus Reviews

A true turtleneck that retains a snug high neck.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
I've found this brand to have gotten better over the years as far as offering the American market what it needs in terms of realistic sizing. I only wish they'd realize that there are a lot of us who are long in the back and arms where my only choice is to go a size up and sacrifice a slim fit for sleeves that are long enough plus a back that doesn't go up past my waist just because I reach up for something, that and I like to be warm. So these are such nice quality turtlenecks that it's hard to complain about but maybe the company will read this. The snug neck stays up is plus number one since that's why I'm buying a full neck. They come with very nice weaves in the fabric, good enough for casual or formal wear. Finally the warmth you seek is there but I've worn them in what most would think isn't the right temp for a turtleneck. Also they have them in white! Yes, a lot of others just don't for reasons I can't fathom, and the pic you're seeing is accurate, these will form to your shape without being ridiculously thin material. Several washes later and they are as fine a garment as when I first wore them. I've only found one other brand that compares to these but it's much more expensive, COOFANDY is affordable in these times of expensive everything. Warm but also a lightweight shirt, I've gotten them really dirty with actual dirt and it washes out so well you'd never know it. Don't let my taking off one star stop you, try one yourself and you'll be coming back for more.
