Janet Giele has been a pioneer in research on women. Her 1961 doctoral dissertation, published as Two Paths to Women’s Equality, compared temperance and suffrage movements. Her other books cover American social policy for women, women in the middle years, gender roles in other countries, and women’s equality in the workplace. She is currently examining the new life patterns of educated white and black women who have come of age with modern feminism.
