The engaging selections - from captivity narratives to letters, manifestos, criminal confessions, and childhood sketches - span a hundred years in which women increasingly asserted themselves publicly. Some rose to positions of prominence as writers, activists, and artists; some sought education or wrote to support themselves and their families; some transgressed social norms in search of new possibilities. Each woman's story is strikingly individual, yet the brief narratives in this anthology collectively chart bold new visions of women's agency. 410 0$aWisconsin studies in autobiography. 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century$vSources 606 $aWomen$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century$vSources 606 $aWomen's studies$zUnited States$xBiographical methods 606 $aAutobiography$xWomen authors 608 $aAutobiographies.$2lcgft 608 $aPrimary sources. 615 0$aWomen 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xHistory 615 0$aWomen's studies$xBiographical methods. 615 0$aAutobiography$xWomen authors. 676 $a305.4092/273 676 $aB 701 $aSmith$b Sidonie$0289123 701 $aWatson$b Julia$f1945-$0289124 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910781832603321 996 $aBefore they could vote$93683463 997 $aUNINA
