Synopses & Reviews
Synthesizing the best and most current scholarship, Through Womens Eyes: An American History with Documents is a widely admired, ground-breaking text. The first to present a narrative of U.S. womens history within the context of the central developments of the United States and to integrate written and visual primary sources into each chapter through its signature docutext format, it is perfect for teaching history as a dynamic process of interpretation. With its focus on women from a broad range of ethnicities, classes, religions, and regions, Through Womens Eyes more than ever helps students understand how women are an integral part of U.S. history.
