このコンテンツについて

A vivid portrait of the unsung American women from 1776 to today who changed the course of history in their fight for freedom and helped shape a more perfect union

“This terrific book reveals the central, though often hidden role that women have played at every stage of our country’s history.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin


Over a decades-long, distinguished career, award-winning journalist Norah O’Donnell has made it her mission to shed light on untold wom­en’s stories. Now, in honor of America’s 250th birthday, O’Donnell focuses that passion on the American heroines who helped change the course of history.

We the Women presents a fresh look at American his­tory through the eyes of women, introducing us to inspiring patriots who demanded that the country live up to the prom­ises made 250 years ago in the Declaration of Independence: “that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Since the signing of that document, the pressing question from women has been: Why don’t those unalienable rights apply to us?

Through extensive research and interviews, as well as historical documents and old photos, O’Donnell curates a compelling portrait of these fierce fighters for freedom. From Mary Katherine Goddard, who printed the first signed Declaration of Independence, to the Forten family women, who were active in the abolition and suffrage movements and were considered the “Black Founders” of Philadelphia, to the first women who served in the armed forces even before they had the right to vote, O’Donnell brings these extraordinary women together for the first time, and in doing so writes the American story anew.

批評家のレビュー

“A vital reminder of the importance of women’s contributions to our history—and a call to action for anyone committed to carrying forward the work that they began.”—Melinda French Gates

“A fascinating book with the colorful tales of more than thirty of these risk takers, visionaries, and pioneers.”—Walter Isaacson

“In We the Women, Norah O’Donnell brings long-overdue attention to the trailblazers, adventurers, inventors, organizers, and everyday women who built this country in ways history too often overlooked. It is a powerful testament to the extraordinary women who shaped America, and an essential reminder that their contributions are a vital part of our shared history.”—Billie Jean King, sports icon and equality champion

“This is more than a history book; it’s a moving portrait of resilience and progress, reminding us that America’s strength has always owed much to the determination of its women.”—Arianna Huffington

“Troublemakers and codebreakers, soldiers and doctors, poets and athletes—and heroines all . . . A lively, engaging account of women who helped shape the nation, even if the historians sometimes failed to notice.”—Susan Page

“By skillfully weaving together individual stories of groundbreaking women, this terrific book reveals the central, though often hidden, role that women have played at every stage of our country’s history.”—Doris Kearns Goodwin
