America Through Women’s Eyes. Edited by Mary Beard. First Edition, First Printing. Macmillan. New York, 1933.

Mary Ritter Beard was an American historian and suffragist who worked tirelessly during the Progressive Era and published numerous history texts that made her a well-known author during the period. She also established archives about women and women’s history that became models for similar work at numerous universities. Her most famous books centered around women in American history. Yet she also wrote widely about labor practices, American political movements, and more. In this volume, Beard edits and contributes a series of essays on various parts of American history, but told from the perspective of women. It is a wide-ranging work, discussing American history from the earliest years to the twentieth century.

This first edition, first printing is in very good condition. In the original cloth, very good with only minor bumping, rubbing, soiling, and fading. Text block fine. Lacking the original dust jacket.

A very good first edition of America Through Women’s Eyes.
