American Acrostics Volume 9: Amazing American Women - Paperback

by Cynthia Morris (Author)

Did you know that the first American poet was a woman? Or that a woman, disguising herself as a man, served in combat for 18 months during the American Revolution? And in 1872, a woman ran for President of the United States for the first time. The first American agent to spy on Nazis behind enemy lines during World War II was a woman from Baltimore with a prosthetic leg she called Cuthbert. It was a team of Black women mathematicians who helped America win the race to the moon in the 1960s. And in 2021, Kamala Harris became the first woman ever to serve as Vice President of the United States. American Acrostics Volume 9: Amazing American Women pays homage to these and many more women who have made significant achievements in every field imaginable - often with little recognition for their accomplishments.
