Book Synopsis Women and the National Experience by : Ellen Skinner
Book excerpt: This reader contains both classic and unusual documents describing the history of women in the United States. They provide dramatic evidence that outspoken women attained a public voice and participated in the development of national events and policies long before they could vote: Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke out for legal equity; Ida Wells Barnett investigated and exposed lynching; Abigail Adams asked her husband to "remember the ladies"; and Amelia Barr wanted to know why "discontented" women were interested in suffrage anyway.
