John Blundell gives a lively portrait of more than 20 American women who spoke out for liberty, helping to shape the political and social fabric of the United States.

Arranged chronologically, the stories add up to a history of America. "Ladies for Liberty "combats the myth that women want, and benefit from, big government.

"Note: " Responses to the first edition were so positive that in the fall of 2012, Mr. Blundell added five more of what he considers to be the best stories in US Women A’s History, namely Anne Hutchinson, Clara Barton, Alice Paul, Rosa Parks, and Mildred Loving. They are included now in this volume.
