Description

This book is renowned as one of the earliest works to address the role of women in the American Revolution. It is seen as an introductory text to the "herstories" published by American women's historians and social historians during the 1960s and 1970s.

Description

Women of the Republic views the American Revolution through women's eyes. The result of a seven-year search for women's diaries, letters, and legal records, Kerber describes women's participation in the war, evaluates changes in their education in the late eighteenth century, describes the novels and histories women read and wrote, and analyzes their status in law and society.
