Women's Rights Emerges within the Anti-Slavery Movement, 1830-1870: A Brief History with Documents (The Bedford Series in History and Culture) by Kathryn Kish Sklar
This is the women's history book that I've been needing to read for years, I just didn't know it until now. I always wondered how women's rights came about. I figured maybe it had something to do with Rosie the Riveter-type ladies taking over their husbands' jobs and refusing to give them up. However, with this book, I learned that the women's rights movement began much earlier.
The book is clear and very organized, I recommend it for those who are curious about women's U.S. history.

Women's rights emerges within the anti-slavery movement, 1830-1870 : a brief history with documents by Kathryn Kish Sklar
Interesting topic in a short and easy to read book, with lots of actual documents in the back.
U.S. History As Women's History: New Feminist Essays (Gender and American Culture) by Linda K. Kerber
This is one of the books that got me wondering if perhaps I should be in women's studies and not science.
"Uncle Tom's cabin, or Life among the lowly", "The Minister's wooing", "Oldtown folks"
