Description

In the Words of Women brings together the writings-letters, diaries, journals, pamphlets, poems, plays, depositions, and newspaper articles-of women who lived between 1765 and 1799.

The writings are organized chronologically around events, battles, and developments from before the Revolution, through its prosecution and aftermath.

They reflect the thoughts, observations and experiences of women during those tumultuous times, women less well known to the reading public, including patriots and loyalists; the highborn and lowly; Native Americans and blacks, both free and enslaved; the involved and observers; the young and old; and those in between.

Brief narrative passages provide historical context, and information about the women as they are introduced enable readers to appreciate their relevance and significance. In the Words of Women also focuses on topics such as health, everyday life, and travel.

The selections not only document existing attitudes, practices, and customs but also changes wrought by the war and independence.

This book allows the voices of these women to be heard and readers to make their own inferences and judgments based on women "speaking for themselves."For more information on this topic, please visit the author's website at www.inthewordsofwomen.com.
