Women - U.S. History

 

What Did You Do in the War, Grandma?

These oral histories illuminate the personal and the political simultaneously. The stories of 26 Rhode Island women's lives are captivating because of the specifics they supply. They are also of interest thanks to the light they shed on the changes the war years brought to American women and to U.S. society as a whole. The site includes a helpful World War II timeline.

The Danvers Archival Center has placed a major portion of its Salem Village witchcraft collection online. Original documents and informed commentary help make sense of this most unusual episode in New World history.

This site is organized into a number of broad themes, called projects. Examples of projects include "The Appeal of Female Moral Reform" and "Pacifism vs. Patriotism in Women's Organizations in the 1920s." A concise introductory essay places each project in its historical context, while a document list offers access to pertinent texts.
