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.
