Sister Societies : Women’s Antislavery Organizations In Antebellum America

Attribution
Beth A. SalernoPublication Details
BookNorthern Illinois University Press2005Links
Description
Many nineteenth-century women got their first taste of political activism in small-town societies advocating temperance and other moral causes. In Sister Societies, Beth Salerno documents ties of kinship and friendship that drew women into the more than 200 exclusively female antislavery societies scattered across the free states. Salerno looks closely at the ways in which members defined their work as political or moral, as well as how the surrounding society viewed it, to fine-tune our understanding of a critical moment in the history of women’s activism.

Founding Mothers : The Women Who Raised Our Nation

Attribution
Cokie RobertsPublication Details
Book1st edWilliam Morrow2004Description
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.
