Publisher Summary
 

America's Women tells the story of more than four centuries of history. It features a stunning array of personalities, from the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs. Courageous, silly, funny, and heartbreaking, these women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America.

Told chronologically through the compelling stories of individual lives that, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman's experience, America's Women is both a great read and a landmark work of history.

Review by Kelly from The United States | 5/21/2011

Someone lent this to me. I could have sworn it was my mother, but she is rather certain it was not her. Anyway . . .

An immensely interesting and highly readable book. You will breeze through it. I need to read the sequel!

Review by Bath Book Shop from Bath, ME | 4/30/2011

An enjoyable and fact-laden trip through a whole lot of history.

Collins clearly reveled in her subject, and her enthusiasm and passion came through. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, and learned something in the process. What more could you ask for when it comes to a history book?
