Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-26 00:00:00 Joseph Morales This is the women's history book that I've been needing to read for years, I just didn't know it until now. I always wondered how women's rights came about. I figured maybe it had something to do with Rosie the Riveter-type ladies taking over their husbands' jobs and refusing to give them up. However, with this book, I learned that the women's rights movement began much earlier. The book is clear and very organized, I recommend it for those who are curious about women's U.S. history.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-16 00:00:00 Jeff Greenfeld It contains a very useful introduction and a superb selection of documents. In particular, I was amazed to read the impressive awareness of intersectionality between anti-racism and anti-sexism on display in the writings of the Grimkes in the 1830s. The documents highlight the degree to which feminist awareness and feminist struggles in the U.S. emerged out of anti-racist struggles.
