Rebecca Dickinson's powerful voice, captured through excerpts from
the pages of her journal, allows colonial and revolutionary-era New
England to come alive. Dickinson's life illustrates the dilemmas
faced by many Americans in the decades before, during, and after
the American Revolution, as well as the paradoxes presented by an
unmarried woman who earned her own living and made her own way in
the small town where she was born. Rebecca Dickinson: Independence
for a New England Woman, uses Dickinson's world as a lens to
introduce readers to the everyday experience of living in the
colonial era and the social, cultural, and economic challenges
faced in the transformative decades surrounding the American
Revolution.About the Lives of American Women series: selected and
edited by renowned women's historian Carol Berkin, these brief
biographies are designed for use in undergraduate courses. Rather
than a comprehensive approach, each biography focuses instead on a
particular aspect of a women's life that is emblematic of her time,
or which made her a pivotal figure in the era. The emphasis is on a
'good read', featuring accessible writing and compelling
narratives, without sacrificing sound scholarship and academic
integrity. Primary sources at the end of each biography reveal the
subject's perspective in her own words. Study questions and an
annotated bibliography support the student reader.
