Brown's pamphlet explores what the history of women in the United States from a global perspective. This essay moves chronologically and thematically from the point at which Native American women'’s "global" networks begin to include Europeans to the rise of a Euro-American female population whose labor, consumption of material goods, and participation in print culture made them part of global processes even as they continued to develop ever-stronger ties to local communities. It also examines the paths by which West African women became part of the plantation economies and communities of southern colonies and then analyzes the group of women who would seem least susceptible to being studied from a global perspective—native-born white women whose daily household relations and extra-local concerns reveal identities that are the product of global processes.
