Women warriors, medieval writers, fugitive slaves, second-wave feminists, and even T-shirt entrepreneurs people its pagesand command our attention." -Susan Ware, editor ofNotable American Women "If you have any doubt of the revolution in knowledge about women's history that has taken place since 1970, read this book!" -Nancy F. Cott, author ofNo Small Courage: A History of Women in the United States "Gives new meaning to the importance of knowing about women who were 'bad' enough to make 'good' history." -Darlene Clark Hine, author ofThe African-American Odyssey "As the bumper sticker based on her earlier work says, well-behaved women seldom (or rarely) make history. Laurel Thatcher Ulrich shows this is sometimes true, but also reveals that at key moments well-behaved women do make history. With dazzling chronological and geographical sweep, Ulrich also demonstrates that historians, both those well-behaved and misbehaving, also make, write, and rewrite history." -Daniel Horowitz, author ofBetty Friedan and the Making ofThe Feminine Mystique "A wonderful book, playful and serious, entertaining and informative, and always inspiring. Ulrich displays an amazing breadth of knowledge about women in all times and places, from Amazons to Wonder Woman to Jessica Lynch." -Marjorie Spruill, author ofNew Women of the New South From the Hardcover edition., "A bravura performance. . . . Ulrich is brilliant here. . . . Few have done as much to so profoundly enrich and enlarge our vision of the past." - The Boston Globe "The book is a pleasure to read. . . . Ulrich's style is plain and direct." - The Washington Post Book World "Ulrich writes with deep insight and humor about subjects that touch our daily lives." - The Washington Times

Synopsis
From admired historian--and coiner of one of feminism's most popular slogans--Laurel Thatcher Ulrich comes an exploration of what it means for women to make history. In 1976, in an obscure scholarly article, Ulrich wrote, "Well behaved women seldom make history." Today these words appear on t-shirts, mugs, bumper stickers, greeting cards, and all sorts of Web sites and blogs. Ulrich explains how that happened and what it means by looking back at women of the past who challenged the way history was written. She ranges from the fifteenth-century writer Christine de Pizan, who wrote The Book of the City of Ladies, to the twentieth century's Virginia Woolf, author of A Room of One's Own. Ulrich updates their attempts to reimagine female possibilities and looks at the women who didn't try to make history but did. And she concludes by showing how the 1970s activists who created "second-wave feminism" also created a renaissance in the study of history.

- o***a (54)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI thought I was ordering a paper back, especially considering the price was only around $10. I'm not sure if they shipped a hard cover by mistake. But I am more than happy to accept it. The description wasn't clear on what it was. So this could very well have been the intended item. I was not very impressed with their customer service at all. It took them days to respond and they didn't seem to care about the delay in shipping. I might purchase again, but I would be cautious as it was delayed.
- r***1 (180)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe book was exactly as described and arrived quickly. The only problem is a recurring one with this seller and other similar sellers - the book is poorly packaged in a plastic envelope and gets heavily bumped in shipping. I would like to see the books wrapped before shipment, but I understand this can't be done for cost reason. Luckily it isn't an expensive book, and I will continue to purchase basic books from this seller. A+++++
