In the Words of Women is not only about women--their lives, contributions, trials and tribulations during the birth and early years of the United States--but also by women. Their voices evoke a sense of immediacy that enables readers, particularly students, to appreciate the difficulties, complexities, and ambiguities of life from before the Revolution through to its aftermath, a time of strife and upheaval.
