Beskrivning

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, many women began to write historical analysis, taking an essential role in defining the new American Republicanism. The work collected in this volume ranges from straightforward reportage to poetic historical narratives, traditional chronicle to travel writing and historical drama to depictions of women. Some of the works were written as textbooks to supply facts and training in critical thinking to female students.
