From award-winning, starred-review author Heather B. Moore comes a powerful portrait of eight American women whose courage and conviction drove them to smash stereotypes and build a nation.
Her America recognizes eight remarkable women who refused to wait for permission to prove a woman's worth in society. They fought for American independence, the abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, and civil rights with their pens and their voices, empowered by their unwavering convictions and courage, to challenge the status quo. Through vivid fictional vignettes and meticulously researched nonfiction accounts, Her America immerses readers in these women's crucial role in transforming this nation.
Mercy Otis Warren ignited a revolution with her politically impassioned plays and became the first published female historian of America.
Sojourner Truth electrified audiences with her Ain't I a Woman? speech and turned her freedom into a crusade for abolition and equality.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton authored the Declaration of Sentiments, launching the women's suffrage movement.
Susan B. Anthony built an unstoppable campaign for women's voting rights that reshaped American democracy.
Harriet Tubman rescued enslaved families through the Underground Railroad and later commanded Union troops to freedom.
Eleanor Roosevelt redefined the role of First Lady and shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Jovita Idár founded schools, organized resistance, and wielded her pen to defend Mexican American civil rights.
Marguerite Higgins broke barriers as a Pulitzer Prize-winning frontline war correspondent.
Her America is an essential addition to any collection on women's history, social justice, and the power of courage in action. It is perfect for classrooms, book clubs, and libraries, as it invites discussion, inspires leadership, and connects past to present with clarity and mastery.
