Daughters of Time
Women in the Western Tradition
A history of women in the Western world
Description
Series
Women's roles throughout time have been varied and many. They have been rulers, reformers, artisans, laborers, entertainers, writers, teachers, intellectuals, wives, and mothers. Often ignored by historians, their lives have been neglected and their influence overlooked. No more. Daughters of Time is their story.
Praise / Awards
- "Mary Kinnear has done a fine job of synthesizing a varied and voluminous literature on women's history in the West in a useful and accessible form. Daughters of Time will be ideal as a text for women's history courses or as supplementary reading for the European history survey."
--Louise Tilly
