Summary:

This expansive collection of public statements documents the history of women struggling for their civil, political, social, and economic rights. From the earliest testimonies at Salem to the pleas for fair wages and voting rights at the end of the nineteenth century, this record traces the development of feminism in its many forms.

Public Women, Public Words draws material from an eclectic blend of public texts -- including speeches and broadsides, testimonies and transcripts from trials, fiction and poetry, articles from popular, middle-brow, radical, and academic journals, newspapers, and magazines -- all in an effort to present the many strands of feminist thought.
