内容简介
Now in paperback, this compelling saga reveals – through
letters, diaries, news articles, prose, and poetry – how women made
enormous contributions to every era in American history, from the
first Native American women in the 1600s to the women suffragists
who won the vote in 1920. Donna Lucey takes readers on a tour
through American history through the eyes of its women. Gorgeous
photographs and paintings accompany the stories, diary excerpts,
letters, newspaper articles, and first person accounts that tell
American history in this unique way. The book covers the years
1600, when only Native American women populated America, to 1920,
when women won the vote. Seven thematic chapters comprise a
comprehensive timeline of American history: Native American Women,
Colonial Women, Women Enslaved, Plantation Mistresses, Westering
Women, Women of the Gilded Age, and Women of the 20th Century. Each
chapter addresses women in war, the arts, politics, social reform,
philanthropy, and suffrage – telling simultaneously the story of
that era in America…Colorful and inspiring personalities include
Pocahontas, Abigail Adams, Molly Pitcher, Harriet Tubman, Belle
Boyd, the Unsinkable Molly Brown, the Vanderbilts and Carnegies,
Zora Neale Hurston, Jane Addams, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, and
more.
