Summary: The struggle for recognition by Early American women
Comment: This is a fine scholarly work, well researched and very informative. Normally, this is not the type of book I read, but I was pleased to have done so. I highly recommend this book to the public in general, and in particular to those fans of American history. It will make an excellent text for college level courses in Women's Studies and Early American History.

Early American women, be they slave or free, had an incredibly hard life, with few civil or property rights. This book recalls some of the bold and brave women that stepped forward, against difficult odds, and demanded something be done. These women started the long and hard struggle to advance the cause of women and better their lives; a battle that is still being fought today. In addition to the burden of having and raising families, American women did much of the backbreaking work of clearing land, planting and harvesting, and filling the sweatshops of early industrial America. These women earned everything they got and then some. We could never have built our great country without their labors.

I have taken for granted many things about women. This book was a real eye-opener and gave me much to ponder. Read the book guys, and learn something.
