I enjoyed this, but was sad to see that there was no mention of women like Betsy Ross, Deborah Sampson, and so on. ( ) “Remember the ladies”, Abigail Adams famously exhorted her husband. Cokie Roberts did just that, in Ladies of Liberty, history that spans the time period from when Abigail Adams was First Lady to when her daughter in Law Louisa Adams took that same role. In between, covered are women as diverse as: *Sacajawea, guide to Lewis & Clark *Rebecca Gratz who was Jewish and did much philanthropy in Philadelphia *Theodosia Burr, Aaron's daughter. I learned that Aaron Burr was so affected by Mary Wollstonecraft's A Vindication of the Rights of Women that he carried around her portrait for the rest of his life while he vowed to raise and educate Theodosia as an intellectual equal. *Dolley Madison. I'm now convinced she probably could have been President in her own right, had women been able to run and cast votes. As it was, her nickname was Presidentess. Time-wise in history, this is a follow-up to Roberts" also excellent Founding Mothers. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
