We the Women

In We the Women, award-winning journalist Norah O'Donnell illuminates the pivotal yet often overlooked role of women in shaping American history from 1776 to the present. In honor of America's 250th anniversary, she highlights inspiring figures, from Mary Katherine Goddard, who printed the first signed Declaration of Independence, to the Forten family women and early female military members, all of whom fought for the rights promised in the Declaration. Through extensive research and firsthand accounts, O'Donnell offers a compelling narrative that redefines the story of freedom in America.
