This is a great primary source. I used it for a few papers. It's also just an interesting collection. The authors compiled various letters written by women to their friends, family, etc about every historical topic imaginable. It's a great book to flip through. ( )

INTRODUCTION: "Oh, hell, I wanted to talk to you," Dorothy Parker wrote. "So here's this letter." Then she sat down and typed five single-spaced pages to Alexander Woollcott, five pages that make you feel as if you are sitting across a table from her, having smoke and memorable observations blown into your face. You hear her, and not just because she was such a vivid writer. You hear her because women's letters talk.... The rewards of trolling through more than two centuries of women's letters are, we hope, embodied in this book. ... Lisa Grunwald and Stephen J. Adler
I hear by Cap Wm Riley news that makes me very Sorry for he Says you proved a Grand Coward when the fight was at Bunkers hill. . . .
