These original biographical sketches provide an excellent introduction to both the contrasts and continuities of American women's experiences through nearly four centuries. Major subjects and themes emerge from the writings, including women's rights, suffrage, education, health, 'women's liberation,' relations between the sexes, and marriage. An excellent resource for courses in American history, women's history, and social history, Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives offers students a comprehensive and very human picture of women in American history.
Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Lives is a superb anthology of seventeen outstanding essays. * Midwest Book Review *
The women in this volume are not well known, but their achievements are worth reading. Their profiles reveal details of women's lives, what was presumed of them, and what they accomplished within and around these expectations. * History Magazine *
This would make a nice supplemental text for any American history course, as it includes discussions of suffrage, education, health, marriage, and equality between the sexes. * Book News, Inc. *
