CBC Showcase: Celebrating National Women's History Month
by Penny Colman
Penny Colman has dug deep into historical records, photographs,
diaries, and letters to tell the history of our country through the
eyewitness accounts of real girls, whether Native American, slave,
immigrant, pioneer, urban, rural, rich, middle-class, or poor. Their
collective voice tells of their spirit, will, courage, and contributions.
"Colman . . . allows a narrative to emerge from the histories and words of real
people, from every social, ethnic, and economic level in the US . . . Offer[s]
more insight into gender roles . . . than any history text or sociological
treatise." —Kirkus Reviews
