Description: Life in the American colonies was not easy for most. For women in particular, it held certain hardships because they lacked many rights and freedoms. And enslaved women really suffered. This important book examines the colonial era with a spotlight on women at that time. Readers will gain a wider perspective of daily life in the period, including educational inequalities and women's cultural contributions. Well-researched text includes primary sources, fact boxes, and sidebars that will help readers connect with key ideas and curricular content.
