The #1 text in U.S. women’s history
Through Women’s Eyes covers the entirety of the nation’s history, placing women – their experiences, contributions, and views – at the center. Brief primary source readings within chapters bring a range of women’s voices to the narrative, while robust primary source projects at each chapter’s end engage students in historical thinking. To further support student learning, the text is available with Achieve, an easy-to-use online learning system that offers tools for skills development and assessment along with a full-color ebook.
Features
Primary Source Projects bring together textual and visual primary sources around chapter topics – from early representations of Indigenous women to voices from “Jane,” the underground abortion collective. The pedagogical support—thematic introductions, source headnotes, and questions for analysis—help students practice historical thinking skills.
An inclusive and accessible narrative gives students a solid foundation in U.S. history while centering on the experiences of a diverse range of American women and girls.
A suite of online resources is available through Achieve, a flexible, innovative online learning system. Achieve supports student learning through a full-color ebook, LearningCurve adaptive quizzes, summative quizzes for each chapter, metacognitive reflection activities, and chronology activities that guide students in identifying and understanding patterns of change. Achieve is fully customizable to support your teaching style and easily integrates with your LMS.
New to This Edition
A new co-author, Brenda Stevenson, brings her expertise as a scholar of gender, race, slavery, and family to the revision, focusing on the period to 1900.
An extensively revised chapter on the contemporary period. Chapter 12, “U.S. Women in a Decisive Age,” covers women’s activism and the events shaping lives today.
Six new Primary Source projects—“Voices from the Suffrage Movement,” “Women Use Their Votes in the 1920s,” “Girls and Young Women in the Civil Rights Movement,” “Jane, the Underground Abortion Collective,” “LGBTQ+ Lives in the Third Wave,” and “Gloria Steinem on Activism.” In addition, many existing Primary Source projects include new texts and images.
Ten new Reading into the Past boxes, including Charlotte Forten’s “Life on the Sea Islands” and Pauli Murray’s “Jane Crow and the Law.”
New scholarship throughout. Every chapter has been updated to integrate the latest scholarship and reflect the diversity of women who shaped and have been shaped by U.S. history.
