"Stuart reminds us that the U.S. Constitution-notably the Bill of Rights-carries Mercy Otis Warren's fingerprints as much if not more than those of most constitutional delegates. . . .

Stuart includes fascinating period details, focusing primarily on Warren's home-front experiences of rampant inflation, scarcity of goods, high taxes and profiteering during the Revolution as well as typical 18th-century illnesses and family anxieties.

Synopsis
A riveting biography of one of America's boldest and most influential--but least recognized--Founding Mothers Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814) was America's first female historian of the American Revolution and the first American woman playwright. The sister of James the Patriot Otis, who declared that taxation without representation is tyranny, she satirized the British and American Loyalists in her popular plays and poems and authored a critique of the U.S. Constitution that was later incorporated into the Bill of Rights. The mother of five sons and the wife of James Warren, president of the Provincial Congress, Mrs. Warren was also a close friend of Abigail and John Adams. Praised for her real genius by her mentor, John Adams, this unprecedented biography reveals their complex relationship--and why it unraveled. While Mrs. Warren is best remembered for her 1805 History of the Rise, Progress and Termination of the American Revolution, Nancy Rubin Stuart reveals how her provocative writing made her an exception among the largely voiceless women of the eighteenth century. When John Adams observed that 'History is not the province of the ladies, ' he had in mind his former protege, the accomplished and prolific Mercy Otis Warren. Here Nancy Rubin Stuart restores Mrs.Warren to vibrant life, offering up a vivid picture of colonial America, and incidentally proving John Adams twice wrong. --Pulitzer Prize winner Stacy Schiff and author of A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America At last A full biography of Mercy Otis Warren--poet, playwright, pamphleteer, scholar, agitator for liberty Nancy Rubin Stuart's feminist re-telling of America's'founding fathers' in revolution and nation-building is a wonderful corrective. This deeply researched, vigorously written portrait of the woman who chronicled the Revolution, improved the US constitution, campaigned for the Bill of Rights, and confronted her competitive, even malicious, male-controlled world with frequent success is stunning. Filled with surprises and important insights, both historical and contemporary, everybody concerned about our past, and our future, will want to read and gift this book. --Blanche Weisen Cook, University Distinguished Professor, CUNY, and author of Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume 1 and 11 A fascinating reminder that the Founding Fathers did not birth the Revolution by themselves, and that the ideals of independence resonated as strongly with American women as they did with American men. As Americans confront the issue of ever-increasing executive privilege, we would do well to remember that the individual freedoms we prize so highly were secured by patriots like Mercy Otis Warren. --Christine Kreiser, Managing Editor, American History Magazine Playwright, poet, and historian, Mercy Otis Warren was both a witness to and chronicler of some of the most important events of the American Revolution. Nancy Rubin Stuart restores Warren to her proper place as one of the 'founding mothers' of American independence. --Rosemarie Zagarri, George Mason University and author of A Woman's Dilemma: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution 'History, ' John Adams told Mercy Otis Warren, 'is not the province of the ladies.' Those, as Adams learned quickly, were fighting words. This 'Founding Mother' was ready to take on the 'FoundingFather.' Unlike the more diplomatic Abigail, Warren took the direct approach. She relished hurling her verbal darts piercing male pomposity. Adams was her most celebrated target but others, including John Hancock, came to feel the prick of her barbs. No one has ever captured the spirit of this woman better than Stuart. --Dr. William M. Fowler, Jr., Distinguished Professor of History at Northeastern University and former Director of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Mercy Otis Warren (1728-1814) was America's first female playwright--writing anonymous political satire that helped spark the Revolution; hailed as the 'First lady of the Revolution,' she wrote a three volume history of that extraordinary event, and her writing contributed to the Bill of Rights., Praised by her mentor John Adams, Mercy Otis Warren was America's first woman playwright and female historian of the American Revolution. In this unprecedented biography, Nancy Rubin Stuart reveals how Warren's provocative writing made her an exception among the largely voiceless women of the eighteenth century.
