Great book covering American and British Women's history

Although I used this book primarily for American Women's history, it does a great job with British history too. The book is well organized, looking at american and british women's history separately by decades starting with 1900 and going through 1995. In most cases, each chapter is divided by politics, work, social life and sex.
