Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Now available in two-volume splits as well as the combined version.
Through Women’s Eyes: An American History was the very first textbook in U.S. women’s history to present an inclusive narrative within the context of the central developments of U.S. history and to integrate written and visual primary sources into each chapter. The result, according to authors Ellen Carol DuBois and Lynn Dumenil, was to 'reveal the relationship between secondary and original sources, to show history as a dynamic process of investigation and interpretation rather than a set body of facts and figures.' The enormous sucess of the very first edition confirms that the field of U.S. women’s history was ready for a ground-breaking textbook that focuses on women from a broad range of ethnicities, classes, religions, and regions and that helps students understand how women and women’s history are an integral part of U.S. history.

This is a wonderfully detailed book. On the very first day I got it I just sat with it and read for hours. There is so much in this book that has been taught to our children in the United States. I felt that it was well written. I want to see more like this. I loved the book. I found it so informative. The pictures were awesome. By it yesterday and you will not regret the purchase. Awesome book...Kudos to the authors.

The book itself is interesting. I need it for a class and the topics that the book covers are very interesting. You learn a lot about what women go through in their time periods. It is very informative!

I wasn't aware of this book until I took an American women's history class - I can honestly say that I would have wanted this book even if it wasn't assigned reading.
Nearly every aspect of American women's history is (unfortunately only) touched upon from many nationalities. It opened my eyes to some aspects of women's history that I hadn't been interested in before and reeducated me in other areas. The book is littered with illustrations, photographs, maps, stories, letters, documents, collections of photographs to show what is written about, etc - all of which keep the text interesting and free of dryness.
To make up for some lack of information, the end of each chapter has an extensive bibliography that steers you in any direction you feel the need to go.
