Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text is a collection of documents covering women's experiences in the family, economy, and society from the colonial era to 1900, with attention to distinctions of class, race, and religion. The collection consists of excerpts from a wide variety of primary sources. The book should be of interest as a core text or supplement for students taking a junior course in women's history; it is occasionally appropriate as a supplement for students taking a US History Survey and also an American Studies course.
