Описание: This overview of history is a behind-the-formal-portrait look into America's "glittering" Gilded Age, 1870-1912, told through short biographies and sidebar commentaries. We explore everything in the day-to-day lives of American Gilded Age women, from alcohol to zoetropes. We make the stories of these women relatable by tying them into modern times. Included are the stories of women like Jennie Jerome Churchill (mother of Winston), Marie Curie (mother of chemical compounds), and Lillian Gilbreth (mother of a dozen children and the step trash can.) The biographies and sidebars will cross economic, occupational, and societal levels. History is too often taught as a one-dimensional recitation of dates, kings, leaders, and battles. But history really is nothing more than the story of living humans placed within their times. Time Travel with The History Chicks annotates those particular times by focusing on the forces, objects, events, and issues that make up the individual histories of the women who lived them.
