Reviews
"This book has become a classic work of history that illustrates what is now a central premise among historians: that women's lives mattered in creating the social, cultural, and political contours of the past. In both style and substance, The Grimke Sisters stands out as a model work of history that has inspired a generation of students and scholars. Lerner is truly a master of historical prose." - Jacquelyn Dowd Hall, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill"
