Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best known for her culinary and domestic guides and the award-winning short story –Mrs. Washington Potts,” Eliza Leslie deserves a much more prominent place in contemporary literary discussions of the nineteenth century. Her writing, known for its overtly moralistic and didactic tonesãthough often presented with wit and humorãalso provides contemporary readers with a nuanced perspective for understanding the diversity among American women in Leslieês time. Leslieês writing serves as a commentary on gender ideals and consumerism; presents complicated constructions of racial, national, and class-based identities; and critiques literary genres such as the Gothic romance and the love letter. These criticisms are exposed through the juxtaposition of her fiction and nonfiction instructive texts, which range from lessons on literary conduct to needlework; from recipes for American and French culinary dishes to travel sketches; from songs to educational games. Demonstrating the complexity of choices available to women at the time, this volume enables readers to see how Leslieês rhetoric and audience awareness facilitated her ability to appeal to a broad swath of the nineteenth-century reading public.

Book excerpt: When a Civil War substitute broker told business associates that "Men is cheep here to Day," he exposed an unsettling contradiction at the heart of the Union's war effort. Despite Northerners' devotion to the principles of free labor, the war produced rampant speculation and coercive labor arrangements that many Americans labeled fraudulent. Debates about this contradiction focused on employment agencies called "intelligence offices," institutions of dubious character that nevertheless served the military and domestic necessities of the Union army and Northern households. Northerners condemned labor agents for pocketing fees above and beyond contracts for wages between employers and employees. Yet the transactions these middlemen brokered with vulnerable Irish immigrants, Union soldiers and veterans, former slaves, and Confederate deserters defined the limits of independence in the wage labor economy and clarified who could prosper in it. Men Is Cheap shows that in the process of winning the war, Northerners were forced to grapple with the frauds of free labor. Labor brokers, by helping to staff the Union military and Yankee households, did indispensable work that helped the Northern state and Northern employers emerge victorious. They also gave rise to an economic and political system that enriched the managerial class at the expense of laborers--a reality that resonates to this day.

Book excerpt: "Professor Glenda Riley portrays the experience of women of all colors and ethnicity in this vibrant history of women in America. A consistent theme in these volumes is the tension between prescribed roles and expectations--the inventing process--and the manner in which women actually thought and felt about their lives and times. The portraits of many women who resisted or simply ignored imposed models of womanhood emerge in dramatic fashion as the author examines women in successsive periods of American history as well as their sometimes subtle, sometimes overt protests against confining stereotypes. Volume One covers from the 1600s to 1877 and tells the truly inclusive story of all types of women and their role in shaping the history of the United States." -- Publisher's description.
