A detailed study of the life and labor of women in America from 1609 through 1776, who were more than just supportive of their families, but were engaged in commerce, missionary activity, and war. This rare volume looks at how a woman preserved the integrity and independence of Maryland, chronicles woman's work in establishing America's silk, indigo, rice, and olive industries inthe Carolinas; worked with tobacco in Virginia, cleared land in Georga; and helped settle the backwoods of Kentucky and Tennessee. Women endured rape, being sold as property, bartered to enhance family fortunes, and shackled with male dominance. It also looks at the issues of abortion, staying single in a married world, and the pains of loving other women.
