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.
