Mary Ritter Beard
The only collection of work by a groundbreaking historian.
A Woman Making History
Historian, social reformer, and women's suffrage campaigner, Mary Ritter Beard (1876-1958) was one of the most prominent intellectuals of her day. Co-author with her husband, Charles Beard of The Rise of American Civilization: and other works in US history, she also founded the modern field of women's history. This collection of her letters, offers in effect an intellectual biography which is considered to be better documented and more vivid than any previous book about her.
Making Women's History
The only collection of work by a groundbreaking historian.
Woman as Force in History
In this classic, pioneering work on the status and position of women, Mary R. Beard challenges the widely held belief that women have been subject to men throughout the ages. She tests this idea of subjection against historical realities--legal, religious, economic, social, intellectual, military, political, and philosophical--and finds it to be meritless. Beard traces the error back to Sir William Blackstone's interpretation of women's legal status after marrying ("the very being or legal existence of the woman is suspended during marriage") and argues against this view. In answer to male historians who have failed to acknowledge the real influence of women in history, she provides a lengthy record of outstanding women and their contributions throughout history.

My perspective is historical but historians of competence must lay the fundamental basis for a grasp of the subject merely challenged here. If this outline raises question, starts disputes, and draws the kind of criticism which will lead to sounder views, I shall consider my daring justified. -- p. v.
