An Epistilary Shocker in Womens' Own Words...

Letters and Essays include the mind-numbing, "Spooled a Piece--Milked a Cow;" the stunning, "And Ain't I a Woman?" and the radical, "All Sorts of Excuses." Womens' lives spring alive in this book's chapters covering everything from Settling the West to The New Consciousness. A read as exciting as it is startling.
