It ends in 2008 with Hillary Clinton's historic presidential campaign. This was a time of cataclysmic change, when, after four hundred years, expectations about the lives of American women were smashed in just a generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A comprehensive mix of oral history and Gail Collins's keen research -- covering politics, fashion, popular culture, economics, sex, families, and work -- \u003ci\u003eWhen Everything Changed\u003c\/i\u003e is the definitive book on five crucial decades of progress. The enormous strides made since 1960 include the advent of the birth control pill, the end of Help Wanted -- Male and Help Wanted -- Female ads, and the lifting of quotas for women in admission to medical and law schools. Gail Collins describes what has happened in every realm of women's lives, partly through the testimonies of both those who made history and those who simply made their way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Picking up where her highly lauded book \u003ci\u003eAmerica's Women\u003c\/i\u003e left off, \u003ci\u003eWhen Everything Changed\u003c\/i\u003e is a dynamic story, told with the down-to-earth, amusing, and agenda-free tone for which this beloved New York Times columnist is known. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Older readers, men and women alike, will be startled as they are reminded of what their lives once were -- \u003ci\u003eFather Knows Best and My Little Margie\u003c\/i\u003e on TV; daily weigh-ins for stewardesses; few female professors; no women in the Boston marathon, in combat zones, or in the police department.
