GREAT AMERICAN WOMEN'S SPEECHES

Readings by Heckart, McNeil and Natwick match the power and eloquence of speeches by Lucretia Mott, Sojourner Truth, Lucy Stone, Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Carrie Chapman and other American women who fought for the equality of women at the ballot box, in the workplace, in the home--and on the podium. In addition to offering a powerful history lesson, these speeches just may rekindle faith in the power of well-written, eloquently delivered speeches to move people to action in the present day when we take such a jaded view of politicians and their messages.
