Description
"Through Women's Eyes is a brilliant textbook---the first to truly integrate women into U.S. history, to treat history as a process of investigation and analysis, to explore how historians have used gender as a tool of historical analysis. It is beautifully organized and laid out. My students have enjoyed working with it and have learned a lot from it. I'll be using the book for many years to come. It's the textbook of the decade."---Louise Newman, University of Florida"This book perfectly fits the way I teach women's history."---Ruth Rosen, University of California, Berkeley"Integrating western, southern, and northern developments into a national narrative that includes African American, Yankee, Native American, and Mexican women as well as working-and middle-class women across the political spectrum is an incredible feat. I am very excited that this text is now available in two volumes."---Nancy Hewitt, Rutgers University

Now available in two-volume splits as well as the combined version. Through Women’s Eyes: An American History was the 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 success of the 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.
