The sisters’ letters illuminate the larger narrative of women in history: often overlooked but powerful in their ordinariness. The letters are an essential read for anyone intrigued by untold stories. #19thcenturyhistory #19thcenturywomen #womenshistory #genealogy

The letters give the reader a glimpse into the lives of women in 19th century America, an era when women had few rights and even fewer life choices. I analyze the transcribed letters individually, from the standpoint of the sisters’ family dynamics, and from cultural and historical perspectives.
