Summary:

The editors draw on diaries, letters, essays, court documents, sermons, wills, and advice manuals to reconstruct women's lives and roles in colonial America. This broad spectrum crosscuts race, class, and region, presenting the voices of African American, European, and Native American women, rich and poor, in the south, the middle colonies, and New England.
