Primary source analysis assignment #2: republican women

This week’s primary source readings work in conjunction with the lecture about Republican women. They demonstrate the ways in which women, despite the limitations often placed on them in this time period (after the American Revolution) were attempting to have some influence over their own lives and the ways they responded to criticism that they were intellectually inferior to men. Think critically while reading.

 

After you have read and understand the source you will then compose a response to the following questions. Be sure to cite the page numbers (or sections) of the source in parenthesis (MLA in text citation) each time you refer to ideas that come directly from the source, or if you use word for word phrases from the source. Your response should be in your own words.  You can upload your responses in a word file, OR you can cut & paste your response in the text entry box below.
