Publisher's Note This multicultural anthology of excerpts from the journals, letters, and autobiographies of ten women portrays life as it was lived across America from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century.
Industry Reviews "A refreshing change from the abstractions, the polemics, the claims and counter-claims....The ten lives of the subtitle cover a wide range. There are obscure persons and distinguished names. Each woman tells her own story in her own words." - Showalter
