Synopsis
Indian, European, and African women of seventeenth and eighteenth-century America were defenders of their native land, pioneers on the frontier, willing immigrants, and courageous slaves. They were also - as traditional scholarship tends to omit - as important as men in shaping American culture and history. This remarkable work is a gripping portrait that gives early-American women their proper place in history.

Review
This study of American women in the 17th and 18th centuries by historian Carol Berkin gives close attention to the lives of several women like Mary, who was brought to Virginia as a slave in 1622. She married another African, Antonio, and over the course of their 40-year marriage, they earned their freedom and established a 250-acre plantation before moving to Maryland in search of new land. Other black women were not so lucky and, as time progressed, laws restricting black freedom were codified. This study uses legal and other types of records to illuminate the lives and experiences of these and other black, white, and Native American women.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. The author looks at women in a variety of different parts of Colonial American, and at different races and ethnicities. Different chapters look at white women in New England, immigrant women in the middle states, African-American women, Native American women, etc. A very interesting sociological study of the position of a wide range of Colonial American women. This is a withdrawn library book from the Norwalk branch of the Los Angeles Public Library, with call number label on the spine, dust jacket (in plastic cover) glued to inside covers, library card pocket on ffep, and a library stamp on the bottom page edge. Extensive pencil underlining and margin marks (brackets, asterisks, etc.) have been gently and thoroughly erased. Some of the marks, however, were made so strongly that they are still partly visible even after erasing. Otherwise, the book is in very good condition. 234 pages, 5½ x 8½ inches, not illustrated. Includes an index and bibliographical study. Sales tax will be added to all California orders. Seller Inventory # 001047
