Product Description
A lively, comprehensive account of the struggle for women's rights at a vital time in our national history.

The American women who worked for our country's indepence in 1776 hoped the new Republic would grant them unprecedented power and influence. But it was not until the next century that a hardy group of pathbreakers began the slow march on the road to autonomy, a road American women continue to travel today. When The Other Civil War was first published in 1984, it was hailed as a thought-provoking narrative of women's lives, among the first books to bring together the new accomplishments of the then-infant discipline of women's history. This revised edition offers a thoroughly updated bibliography, including not only new books and articles but also Internet sources from the past fifteen years of innovative scholarship.

The struggle for recognition by Early American women
This is a fine scholarly work, well researched and very informative. Normally, this is not the type of book I read, but I was pleased to have done so. I highly recommend this book to the public in general, and inparticular to those fans of American history. It will make an excellenttext for college level courses in Women's Studies and Early AmericanHistory.

Early American women, be they slave or free, had an incrediblyhard life, with few civil or property rights. This book recalls some of thebold and brave women that stepped forward, against difficult odds, anddemanded something be done. These women started the long and hard struggleto advance the cause of women and better their lives; a battle that isstill being fought today. In addition to the burden of having and raisingfamilies, American women did much of the backbreaking work of clearingland, planting and harvesting, and filling the sweatshops of earlyindustrial America. These women earned everything they got and then some.We could never have built our great country without their labors.

I havetaken for granted many things about women. This book was a real eye-openerand gave me much to ponder. Read the book guys, and learn something.
