This significant series shifts the spotlight onto the women of U.S. history. Readers will learn what life was like for women during certain periods, such as the American Revolution and the Industrial Revolution. They'll learn how women were affected by laws and the culture of the time. They'll also be introduced to women, both famous and not, who played a part in bringing about lasting change in America.
