Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout history, women have often worked in informal ways and in modest conditions, frequently without monuments or grand examples of architecture preserved to commemorate their accomplishments. Landmarks of American Women's History describes the sites that represent a wide variety of women's experiences and accomplishments. As early as the fourteenth century, the women of New Mexico's Taos Pueblo lived equal lives of responsibility with men, even building most of the pueblo. Mary Chase Perry Stratton's Pewabic Pottery in Detroit, Michigan exemplifies women's contributions to the arts. Bryn Mawr College's M. Cary Thomas Library is tangible evidence of Thomas's drive to secure equal educational opportunities for women. The boardinghouse at Boot Cotton Mill in Lowell, Massachusetts provides a glimpse into the daily life of women in the industrial workforce. New York City's United Charities Building was- and still is- the headquarters of numerous reform organizations, many headed by women. In vivid sketches of eleven historic sites from across the country- in addition to numerous related location that act as supporting characters- Page Putnam Miller tells an engaging story of the accomplishments and the lasting influence of women on American history.

Book excerpt: "As editor Page Putnam Miller explains, "Historic structures can be a catalyst for studying and remembering the past." Reclaiming the Past integrates recent developments in women's history and historic preservation in order to illuminate the historic significance of many structures and sites associated with the lives of women in the United States. The homes of Willa Cather, Sarah Orne Jewett, Zora Neale Hurston, Clara Barton, and Susan B. Anthony; Dumbarton Oaks, designed by landscape architect Beatrix Farrand; the Madame C. J. Walker Building in Indianapolis, home of the Walker Manufacturing Company; Wesleyan Chapel at Seneca Falls, New York, site of the 1848 Women's Rights Convention; the Shirtwaist Triangle Factory; Hull House: these represent only a sampling of the variety of landmarks and resources examined here." "In an introductory chapter, Page Putnam Miller outlines the urgent task of identifying and preserving these historic sites. The contributors then focus on seven arenas of activity: architecture, arts, community, education, politics, religion, and work. We discover that as activists, preservationists, designers, and architects, women have long been involved in historic preservation, as well as in the thoughtful design of domestic space - the home itself. As artists and writers, women often interpreted their household and immediate surroundings. Women have also left their mark on material culture through community activism, religious and educational activity, and work." "Less than 5 percent of national parks, national historic landmarks, and state historic sites commemorate women's life and activity in the United States. The use of historic structures to reconstruct and understand their accomplishments has garnered relatively little attention. This volume is an effort to stimulate the recovery and use of these resources - to grasp the spirit and the passions that animate women's history." "The contributors are Gail Lee Dubrow, Joan Hoff, Barbara J. Howe, Helen Lefkowitz Horowitz, Barbara Melosh, Jean R. Soderlund, and Lynn Y. Weiner."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Book excerpt: How can we learn more about Native women?s lives in North America in earlier centuries? This question is answered by this landmark anthology, an essential guide to the significance, experiences, and histories of Native women. Sixteen classic essays?plus new commentary?many by the original authors?describe a broad range of research methods and sources offering insight into the lives of Native American women. The authors explain the use of letters and diaries, memoirs and autobiographies, newspaper accounts and ethnographies, census data and legal documents. This collection offers guidelines for extracting valuable information from such diverse sources and assessing the significance of such variables as religious affiliation, changes in women?s power after colonization, connections between economics and gender, and representations (and misrepresentations) of Native women. ø Indispensable to anyone interested in exploring the role of gender in Native American history or in emphasizing Native women?s experiences within the context of women?s history, this anthology helps restore the historical reality of Native women and is essential to an understanding of North American history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a generation after the rise of women's history alongside the feminist movement, it is still difficult, observes Catherine Brekus, to locate women in histories of American religion. In this collection of 12 essays, contributors explore how considering the religious history of American women can transform our dominant historical narratives. Covering a variety of topics--including Mormonism, the women's rights movement, Judaism, witchcraft trials, the civil rights movement, Catholicism, everyday religious life, Puritanism, African American women's activism, and the Enlightenment--the volume enhances our understanding of both religious history and women's history. Taken together, these essays sound the call for a new, more inclusive history.

That are the daily life realities – for most of the people, they mean that they need to struggle and remain satisfied with what they have. As a whole, the paper was to emphasize how women are capable of developing and achieving what should rightfully be also theirs, even in the periods when women were a mere possession.

Book excerpt: Rich in detail, filled with fascinating characters, and panoramic in its sweep, this magnificent, comprehensive work tells for the first time the complete story of the American woman from the Pilgrims to the 21st-century In this sweeping cultural history, Gail Collins explores the transformations, victories, and tragedies of women in America over the past 300 years. As she traces the role of females from their arrival on the Mayflower through the 19th century to the feminist movement of the 1970s and today, she demonstrates a boomerang pattern of participation and retreat. In some periods, women were expected to work in the fields and behind the barricades—to colonize the nation, pioneer the West, and run the defense industries of World War II. In the decades between, economic forces and cultural attitudes shunted them back into the home, confining them to the role of moral beacon and domestic goddess. Told chronologically through the compelling true stories of individuals whose lives, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman’s experience, Untitled is a landmark work and major contribution for us all.
