Publisher's Notes
Providing new information on women's participation in the Moroccan independence movement, Voices of Resistance offers a rare opportunity to hear Moroccan women speak freely about their personal lives. Each woman is introduced in terms of her family background and personal style, and the interviews are given texture and context by references to Moroccan history and popular culture, including contemporary songs and poems. These women are storytellers, and they lived through stirring times. Their active struggle against French colonialism also challenged and redefined traditional Moroccan ideas about women's roles in society. The narratives reconstruct the little-known history of Moroccan feminism and nationalism and probe the lives of a remarkable group of Islamic women whose voices have never been heard until now.

Modern American Women
by Susan Ware
This is a unique collection of more than seventy-five primary sources, all of them (with the exception of two Supreme Court decisions) written by women. The story of American women over the past 100 years thus is told primarily in their own words. This volume can stand alone, or it can be used in combination with Woloch's EARLY AMERICAN WOMEN, 1600-1900.

New World, New Roles
by Marian J. Morton
"Frey and Morton use cogent, lucid introductions and annotations as a setting for a collection of documents that speak with insistent voices about women's activities and social positions in America from the Colonial period to 1815. Pointing out that `nobody came to the New World to get poor' or to become unhappy, the authors discuss women's roles in the relationships circumscribed by family, work, religion, and law. The introductions to the documents are excellent; the documents themselves are in turn poignant, witty, revealing, and subtle, but always compelling. The text preceding each document provides a setting, raises a question, or introduces an issue.... The tone is reasoned and objective. A great deal of valuable bibliographic information is interspersed throughout the text...." Choice
