AM has once again produced an impressive archive of important primary documents that give users a firsthand glimpse into the perspectives and mindsets of an underrepresented but essential group in UK and Irish history. The accounts of daily life and the roles and responsibilities of women since 1600 are riveting to read and hear. 

This unique and expansive resource offers exciting opportunities for educators seeking to facilitate discussions centered on race and racism, identity, power, and culture.
