Product Description
Most of what we know about American women in the nineteenth century is just a stereotype. A Purse of her Own, while ostensibly about women’s employment in that era, also touches upon issues of education, health, marriage and divorce. The author utilizes one county in Michigan against a backdrop of changes occurring throughout the United States. This highly readable book with almost 200 photographs will make you re-evaluate everything you think you know about nineteenth century women. Women own shops and served in the Civil War. They became photographers and postmasters, doctors and dentists, authors and attorneys.
