Abstract

The editors of In the Words of Women: The Revolutionary War and the Birth of a Nation have created a vivid narrative of women's lives in the Revolutionary era. Weaving together short historical summaries, biographical context, and early American women's words, the book is unusually readable and fast-paced for its genre.
