  • Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation
  • Attribution

    Cokie Roberts
  • Publication Details

    Book, 1st ed, William Morrow, 2004
  • Description

    Drawing upon personal correspondence, private journals, and even favored recipes, Roberts reveals the often surprising stories of these fascinating women, bringing to life the everyday trials and extraordinary triumphs of individuals like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Deborah Read Franklin, Eliza Pinckney, Catherine Littlefield Green, Esther DeBerdt Reed, and Martha Washington — proving that without our exemplary women, the new country might never have survived. Roberts proves beyond a doubt that like every generation of American women that has followed, the founding mothers used the unique gifts of their gender — courage, pluck, sadness, joy, energy, grace, sensitivity, and humor — to do what women do best, put one foot in front of the other in remarkable circumstances and carry on.

    edited by Sharon M. Harris
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1995
  • Description

    As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. With selections from The Gleaner and Murray’s other publications, this latest addition to the Women Writers in English series unearths an important early feminist voice, one that should engage the intellect and imagination of readers both inside and outside the academy.

The Colonial Mosaic : American Women 1600-1760

  • The Colonial Mosaic : American Women 1600-1760
  • Attribution

    Jane Kamensky
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1995
  • Description

    The story of colonial settlement is often told as if men were the only actors, but women–as wives, agricultural workers, domestic servants, members of religious congregations, community builders, and mothers of a new generation–were crucial to European settlements just as women in Native American groups were to theirs. Life for women and men began to change in the late 17th century as slavery became an accepted economic solution. In the North, cities such as New York, Boston, and Philadelphia saw thousands of new immigrants living side by side with Anglo Americans, enslaved African Americans, and a growing free black community.
