About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Women of America by John Ruse Larus. Read by Linda Andrus The present volume completes the story of woman as told in the series of which it forms part. The history of nations is, in its ultimate analysis, largely that of woman. Therefore this series in its wide inclusiveness forms a more than ordinarily interesting history. The present study of the women of America is innocent of theorizing or philosophy and from the nature of the subject the narrative takes the reader into paths generally unfamiliar in historic studies. - From the Introduction by John A. Burgan.
