It features a stunning array of personalities, from the women peering worriedly over the side of the Mayflower to feminists having a grand old time protesting beauty pageants and bridal fairs.
Courageous, silly, funny, and heartbreaking, these women shaped the nation and our vision of what it means to be female in America. By culling the most fascinating characters -- the average as well as the celebrated -- Gail Collins, the editorial page editor at the New York Times, charts a journey that shows how women lived, what they cared about, and how they felt about marriage, sex, and work. She begins with the lost colony of Roanoke and the early southern "tobacco brides" who came looking for a husband and sometimes -- thanks to the stupendously high mortality rate -- wound up marrying their way through three or four.
Spanning wars, the pioneering days, the fight for suffrage, the Depression, the era of Rosie the Riveter, the civil rights movement, and the feminist rebellion of the s, America's Women describes the way women's lives were altered by dress fashions, medical advances, rules of hygiene, social theories about sex and courtship, and the ever-changing attitudes toward education, work, and politics. While keeping her eye on the big picture, Collins still notes that corsets and uncomfortable shoes mattered a lot, too.
Told chronologically through the compelling stories of individual lives that, linked together, provide a complete picture of the American woman's experience, America's Women is both a great read and a landmark work of history.

The argument made here about her as a superior helper is deliberately pedantic and shows the dangers of bad exegesis. It is meant as a humorous riposte to all those that suggest woman is lesser and only fit for 'helper' duties. Just as 'God is my helper' I would not consign him only to the kitchen sink!

I'm not very religious by any means, the book wasn't hard to read in terms of having to have extensive of prior biblical knowledge.
The format of the book is set up in smaller "story" sections, and features different author's views on stories from the Bible, particularly from women's views of it. This book treads on the feminist side of perspectives, but not a bad read if that's what you're looking for. This is not a book for the Fundamentalist Christian that believes that every word in the Bible is inspired by God.
The Author's purpose is to present the various secular Feminist and Womanish evaluations of the Women of the Bible in terms of their oppressive, Patriarchal culture and times in which they lived. In most cases their stories are presented in a way that ignores the spiritual context in favor of contrasting the ethical and ethnic contradictions to what women of today must deal with in the area of sexual oppression and harassment compared to similar situations in the lives of Bible women.

He said that fate or Providence had thrown in his way a woman who possessed every qualification to be the helpmate of an agriculturist, and was decidedly of a.
The author uses the schoarly four points of addressing historical or spiritual women. Quotes from various Feminist and Womanish scholars are used to suppport the points the author wishes to emphasize in each Bible woman's life. As a book to teach one the acceptable scholarly method of evaluation any book's characters, or to help the Christian understand the non-Christian point of view on these Bible Characters, this book is excellent.
If the Christian is not offended by other views of Bible Stories, they can learn much from this book. I enjoyed it and recommend it highly. Not so oddly, it is an excellent critique of the problems that faced women of yesteryear. Better yet, it addresses the adjustments, both good and bad, that challenged women in the early days of seeking for equal rights and the challenges facing women tomorrow as they now find a world that has embraced many, but not all of the indictments that feminism avowed.
It is these adjustments that the author speaks of in her piercing analysis of the woman's movement. Loved the class and this book gave me alot of insight about the women of the First Testament. I would recommend this book. A great introduction to modern scholarship on biblical women, and a good book to assign for a college course on the subject. Bellis does a stellar job with an overview and survey of this biblical women.
