We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America by Sara Smith, Women’s History Book

In 1776, America declared independence with bold words about liberty and equality, but the promise did not reach everyone. Women could not take part in politics, often could not own property on their own, were shut out of higher education, and were left out of the official record. Yet they were there from the start, organizing boycotts, running farms during wartime, printing revolutionary documents, and asking the question at the heart of the young republic: if liberty is universal, why is it limited?

We the Women: The Hidden Heroes Who Shaped America by Sara Smith tells the story of the women who refused to accept that limit. It is a compelling read for history lovers, students, teachers, book clubs, and anyone who wants to know who was left out of the usual story. A thoughtful gift for readers of American history, women’s studies, and civic and political history.
