Hard work proved a constant for most women--they ensured their family's survival through their skills while others sold their labor or lived in bondage as indentured servants and slaves. Even in this world defined entirely by men, a world where no one thought it important to record a female's thoughts, women found ways to step forth. Elizabeth Ashbridge survived an abusive indenture to become a Quaker preacher. Anne Bradstreet penned epic poetry while raising eight children in the wilderness. Anne Hutchinson went toe-to-toe with Puritan authorities. Margaret Hardenbroeck Philipse built a trade empire in New Amsterdam. Martha Corey lost her life in the vortex of Salem's witch hunt. And Eve, a Virginia slave, twice ran away to freedom. With strength, courage, resilience, and resourcefulness, these women and many others played a vital role in the mosaic of life in colonial America"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.40973 Mi   Lost 04/25/2019 Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library YA -- Biography 305.40973 Mi Biography Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.40973 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.40973 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.40973 Mi   Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waipahu Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 305.40973 Mi   Item being held   Add Copy to MyList
