The New York Times Book Review, Raye Snover:
Linda K. Kerber ... has collected 10 previously published essays discussing the
perception of the feminine mind and its place in society, examining the role of women and
their education from the American Revolution to the 20th century.... Kerber argues that
"the intellectual history of women in America has been at base a single story: a
continuing quest by determined women to claim access to books, instruction and opportunity
to interpret, always resisting the assumption ... that women's minds are naturally limited
to the trivial."

Card catalog description
This outstanding collection of fifteen original essays represents innovative work by
some of the most influential scholars in the field of women's history. Covering a broad
sweep of history from the American Revolution to contemporary times and ranging over the
fields of legal, social, political, and cultural history, this book, according to its
editors, "intrudes into regions of the American historical narrative from which women
have been excluded or in which gender relations were not thought to play a part."
State formation, power, and knowledge have not traditionally been understood as the
subjects of women's history, but they are the themes that permeate this book. Individually
and together, the essays explore how gender serves to legitimize particular constructions
of power and knowledge and to meld these into accepted practice and state policy. They
show how the study of women's history has moved from the discovery of women to an
evaluation of social processes and institutions.

From 500 Great Books by Women; review by Jesse Larsen:
Angela Davis - world-renowned teacher and political activist for the past thirty
years - continues her unrelenting effort to bring the light of intelligence,
internationalism, and inclusion to United States politics. Stating, "the roots of
sexism and homophobia are found in the same economic and political institutions that serve
as the foundation of racism in this country," she explores the unbroken history of
African-American women's organizational efforts to confront the causes and change the
conditions that create the dismal living and working conditions of the majority of
working-class women, regardless of race.
