American Women's Firsts with books! 19th Century

Welcome back to a list containing historical American women first to do [insert accomplishment].

In celebration of Women's History Month I'm using Wikipedia  about historical American women & listing alongside the information a book about the women.

And, luckily for you I do not make my lists where you have to click to a new page for every person. They all will be on one post with a book related to them. I'll note where I didn't find a book. They're still getting listed though. I will include their Wikipedia page for all women listed.

If you know of a book specifically for a woman not listed or one that talks about these women please let me know! I appreciate the help.
