In honor of America's 250th birthday, award-winning journalist Norah O'Donnell has made it her mission to shed light on untold American heroines who helped change the course of history. "We the Women" presents a fresh look at American his­tory through the eyes of women, introducing us to inspiring patriots who demanded that the country live up to the prom­ises made 250 years ago in the Declaration of Independence. Since the signing of that document, the pressing question from women has been: Why don't those unalienable rights apply to us? Through extensive research and interviews, as well as historical documents and old photos, O'Donnell curates a compelling portrait of these fierce fighters for freedom. From Mary Katherine Goddard, who printed the first signed Declaration of Independence, to the Forten family women, who were active in the abolition and suffrage movements and were considered the "Black Founders" of Philadelphia, to the first women who served in the armed forces even before they had the right to vote, O'Donnell brings these extraordinary women together for the first time, and in doing so writes the American story anew. Are you interested in reading this important book about the unsung American women from 1776 to today who changed the course of history in their fight for freedom and helped shape a more perfect union?
