Women's America: Refocusing the Past 7th Edition

I got this book for a Women in History class, and found the content to be fascinating. The focus is on women and what they experienced through American history from the 1600's to the present. Many of the articles are about ordinary women, their lives, their marriages, their restrictions, their struggles, but there are also many great articles about notable women and their achievements despite great odds. This book is a compilation of articles on a whole range of topics, and I can say I probably learned more from this particular book than just about any history book I've read. I was left with a whole new appreciation for what women have gone through in the last several hundred years. I'll add that this book does not have an angry feminist slant as some might expect (I expected this myself going into the class and the book). Rather, it just tells the history of what happened and "what was" in a way that was pretty devoid of any particular social position. You are left to draw your own conclusions about what you read. Of particular interest were articles about the witchcraft hysteria, Sally Hemings and Thomas Jefferson, and the practice of abortion in early America. The articles were beyond fascinating and I learned so much that I had had no idea about before. Well worth reading even if you aren't in a class.

Really Boring and terrible, but it's a textbook so what are ya gonna do. I had to get it for class anyway. It was only 1.50 for me so I'm pleased

So far I have read a bunch of the articles. If you are a historian interested in this kind of research you may really really like this book, I am reading it for a class and I can take it or leave it because it's not my favorite field.If you are just some regular non scholarly person off the street I doubt you will enjoy this book much.

I was pleasantly surprise to be able read and learn about women's issues and contribution to society, without the hardnose feminist slants being jammed down our throat and the frequent bashing of the male population. Very interesting reading and it is time to give these women pioneers their due.

Interesting text book. Not really like a typical textbook, its mostly independent essays/short stories about the United States greatest women activist and women who helped changed America for the better. I took Womens History in the United States of America, and our Professor used this book, it was fun College Class overall, the textbook had some memorable readings. Only gets 3 out of stars because it was still a textbook for school. Better than expected tho!

My book arrived in wonderful condition, even faster than I expected (there was a one day delay due to a holiday) I am very pleased with the efficiency and in receiving exactly what was described.
