Produktbeschreibung
New Jersey's Remarkable Women examines the lives of fourteen strong and determined women, all of whom broke through social, cultural, and political barriers to advance women's roles in the arts, on the battlefield, and in the pulpit. These pioneers fought against social norms and prejudices, making contributions to society that still have an impact today. Meet Molly Pitcher, who stepped in during the heat of battle to replace her fallen husband in the Battle of Monmouth; Antoinette Brown Blackwell, America's first ordained woman minister and campaigner for women's rights; Jessie Redmon Fauset, who nurtured the Harlem Renaissance movement as a writer, editor of The Crisis, and supporter of African-American literature; and Alice Stokes Paul, who devoted herself to the fight for women's rights and wrote the Equal Rights Amendment. Each of these women embodied a remarkable determination and an independent spirit that is as inspiring now as it was then. Read about their exciting lives in this collection of brief and absorbing biographies.
