From Anne Hutchinson to Elizabeth Cady Stanton to Betty Friedan, Christine Lunardini shows how the struggle of American women has been part and parcel with the battle to extend the benefits of liberty to all Americans. <p>That struggle has taken many forms - some of them well known, many of them surprising. Hutchinson's exile from Massachusetts in 1638 for open criticism of Puritanism, for instance, is well known to most students of Amerian history. The Supreme Court's shocking 1923 decision declaring minimum wage laws for women to be unconstitutional, however is not as widely remembered.</p> <p>Lunardini's concise, engaging new book includes accounts of:</p> <ul> <li>Emma Willard's appeal to the New York State legislature for taxpayer support for the education of young women (1818)</li> <li>Fanny Wright's emergence as the first female public speaker in U.S. history (1829)</li> <li>The courageous decision of young women mill workers in Lowell, Massachusetts, to strike in reaction to a proposed 15 percent wage cut (1834)</li> <li>The opening of Fannie Farmer's cooking school in Boston (1902)</li> <li>Jane Addams' selection as Nobel Peace Prize laureate (1931)</li> <li>The formation
