From the Vault: The American Woman, Part Three

This week on From The Vault we present Part Three of a recently restored series from 1959 and 1960 called The American Woman. This comprehensive 14-part series is a masterpiece of scholarly research that profiles women in America from the colonial era in the 1600’s, through the Abolition and Suffrage Movements in the 1800’s, including the ongoing struggle of women for social justice.

Special guest commentator, Cultural Herstorian Amy Simon, guides us through Part Three of The American Woman, which profiles Margaret Fuller, author of Woman in the Nineteenth Century, considered the first major Feminist work in American when it was published in 1845.

The American Woman was preserved thanks to a grant from the American Archive Pilot Program.

From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
