The unique and independent American woman: adventurer...
pioneer... poet... mother... educator... artist... freedom
fighter. A History of Women's Achievement in America examines
the 400-year history of American women's inspiring
accomplishments and victories.
Without the American woman's pioneering fortitude, the early
colonies at Jamestown and Plymouth Plantation, would not have
survived. From then on, millions of American pioneer women would
push the frontier ever forward. Destined to play an essential
role in the shaping of the United States; American women forged
an identity unlike any other in the world. That identity found a
voice as they created great literature and science.
American women, led the fight to end slavery, limit corporate
power, provide education for all . . . and to protect the poor,
the disenfranchised, the immigrants and the insane.
At the same time, these unique American women
would have to fight tirelessly for their own equality in
politics, education and the workplace... even the right to vote.
