    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.

The Limits Of Independence : American Women, 1760-1800

  • The Limits Of Independence : American Women, 1760-1800
  • Attribution

    Marylynn Salmon
  • Publication Details

    Book, Oxford University Press, 1994
  • Description

    But there were other forces at work during this turbulent period as the community of women addressed issues of educational reform, the abolition of slavery in the North and renewed embrace of it in the South, voting rights, religion, the rise of prominent women intellectuals, and the ever-changing relationships between women and men. The book looks at the traditional patterns of women’s lives during the time of the American Revolution and charts the new directions to come as women help to carve a new nation “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)
