Born for Liberty – A History of Women in America
Sara M. Evans1997

The most concise and comprehensive one-volume history of American women.

From the indigenous women of the sixteenth-century wilderness to the dual-role career women and mothers of contemporary times, this book brings American womanhood to center stage. In exploring the lives of pioneers and slaves, immigrant and factory workers, executives and homemakers, Evan sheds light on their contributions to the shaping of the nation and transforms our notions about political participation and active citizenship.
