American Women's History: Ancient America to the Present
Jennifer L. Altenhofel · Taft College
This is a book about women by a woman. It’s not your typical American history book. It follows the rhythms of women’s lives and begins and ends with their perspectives. Because history is best taught as a story, this book is the story of many generations of women who persevered, labored, loved, and lost. I hope I have done them justice.
