About this product
Product Information
Historical events of the last three centuries come alive through these women s singular correspondences often their only form of public expression. In 1775, Rachel Revere tries to send financial aid to her husband, Paul, in a te that is confiscated by the British; First Lady Dolley Madison tells her sister about rescuing George Washington s portrait during the War of 1812; one week after JFK s assassination, Jacqueline Kennedy pens a heartfelt letter to Nikita Khrushchev; and on September 12, 2001, a schoolgirl writes a te of thanks to a New York City firefighter, asking him, Were you afraid? The letters gathered here also offer fresh insight into the personal milestones in women s lives. Here is a mid-nineteenth-century missionary describing a mastectomy performed without anesthesia; Marilyn Monroe asking her doctor to spare her ovaries in a handwritten te she taped to her stomach before appendix surgery; an eighteen-year-old telling her mother about her decision to have an abortion the year after Roe v. Wade; and a woman writing to her parents and in-laws about adopting a Chinese baby. With more than 400 letters and over 100 stunning photographs, Women s Letters is a work of astonishing breadth and scope, and a remarkable testament to the women who lived and made history. From the Hardcover edition.
