In a time shaped by the revolutionary fervor of the eighteenth century, filled with mavericks and firebrands creating a new country, these women stood out for breaking boundaries and inspiring powerful political and literary change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePresidents, first ladies, and momentous political firsts like the Continental Congress dominate the traditional story of young America. But there’s another side: the American experiment was also molded by three generations of outspoken women who took on the new nation’s deepest contradictions and profoundest values in speech and in print. Though groundbreaking in their day, the names of these compelling campaigners for freedom have faded from our telling of American history. Yet their impact can still be traced in surprising ways. These women include:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErnestine Rose, a rabbi’s daughter turned feminist lecturer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaria Stewart, a free African American and one of the first female orators in the young nation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudith Sargent Murray, an American writer whose essay advocating for women’s rights beat Mary Wollstonecraft’s \u003ci\u003eVindication of the Rights of Women \u003c\/i\u003eby a year\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLucy Say, one of early America’s most respected scientific illustrators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBusiness owners and poets, activists and philosophers—they all insisted that our country’s real values of freedom, due process, and economic opportunity be afforded to everyone, no exceptions. Their stories show how progressive women shaped this country—and that they deserve to be remembered for their founding role. Their convictions and passions reveal America’s contradictions as a country that prizes freedom but was built on slavery, that preaches religious liberty but was forged by Christian institutions, that rejects aristocratic authority but has limited opportunity for many. Their courage shows how patriotic Americans have long fought to unwind these contradictions to the benefit of all.","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48700885303551,"sku":"9781493094851","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781493094851_s600x595.jpg?v=1781631985","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781493094851","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
