A History of Women in America integrates the stories of women in America into the national narrative of American history. By weaving women's lives into the heart of the country's narratives; readers will see women where they were; rather than having them appear as appendages to events controlled largely by men. Coryell and Faires use accessible language; telling stories that will attract beginning scholars to the field of history. Major ethnic groups are incorporated; from Native American and African women who appear earliest in the text; to the major immigrant groups; such as Hispanic; Latina; Chicana; and Asian women; who occupy increasingly larger roles throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

This is THE text of Modern European HistoryBy James PetersenIt is difficult to add to what reviewers have already provided. I used this text when I was a classroom AP teacher for a number of reasons. Among those reasons was that while most K-12 textbooks are the product of a committee; (committee- a terrestrial life form having at least six legs and no brain.) this book is largely the work of the late Dr. Robert Roswell Palmer. It was written as if the author felt that the history of Modern Europe was not a collection of chapters but rather a story; a narrative to be read the way one reads a novel. There is a continuity to the writing and an elegance of prose that can only be achieved by a text like this. Dr. Palmer was a wonderful historian and a marvellously accessable teacher who took the time to answer letters personally on his old manual typewriter. His passing is lamented.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy manxin.luogreat
