I have been reading
First Generations: Women in Colonial America![](http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=caseclue-20&l=as2&o=1&a=0809016060)
for the past several days. It has given me some insight into the Colonial experience of women and cause to think about a few things in ways I never have. Is there a history text or sociological study that might expand your knowledge even if it doesn't directly expand your family tree?
