When one acquires knowledge of U.S. history, it is almost always about men involved in events and the hardships they endured or their successes. Little is said about women other than for a few social movements they were involve with and almost nothing about the millions of children who also lived the history of the U.S. This book consists of short stories that try to shed light on the lives of women and children of the past and what they had to contend with in a man's world and life in the U.S. at the time. Of course there were millions of stories and these short stories do not represents the lives of all women and children in the past, but they do represent the majority of the women and children of the past. The stories are short, but they each convey a message. This message being about the United States and the time in history when the stories took place as well as the social and economic conditions at that time. It is amazing how different things were in the past, and at the same time, amazing how similar they are now.
