Book Beginnings on Friday is a meme hosted by Gilion at Rose City Reader. Anyone can participate; just share the opening sentence of your current read, making sure that you include the title and author so others know what you're reading.America's Women: Four Hundred Years of Dolls, Drudges, Helpmates, and Heroines by Gail Collins
"Eleanor Dare must have been either extraordinarily adventurous or easily led."After all, why else would she travel to the New World on the first ship of settlers, pregnant? Seems like an unpleasant trip in the best of times, and pregnancy is not usually the best of times. Shortly after landing she gave birth to Virginia Dare, the first baby born in America. sadly, no one knows what happened to the colonists on Roanoke Island.

Sounds interesting. I'll take a "peek inside" on Amazon to see how the author presents the history.
