Hailed as a "definitive portrait of America's past 99 years" by Time Magazine, Lisa Grunwald and Stephen J. Adler's landmark collection, Letters of the Century, opened a fascinating window on our nation's history. Now the editors of Letters of the Century continue their epistolary chronicles in a book that captures the female perspective on the events that shaped America. As Grunwald and Adler write in their introduction: "Women's letters talk -- they tell stories, they tell secrets, they console and advise, gossip and argue, compare and compete. And along the way, they -- usually without meaning to -- write history." Historical events of the last three centuries come live through these women's singular correspondences -- often their only form of public expression. - Jacket flap.
