This richly textured portrait of American women reveals the remarkable strengths and resources of ordinary women. Excerpts from twenty-nine diaries include miniatures of the daily life of New England families in the late 1700s, overviews of the great expansion westward, and devastating portraits of the brutal politics of the 1960s and 1970s. The book also contains a bibliography of hundreds of women's diaries.
