Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of the women who played pivotal roles during America's colonial period. The author focuses specifically on Lady Arbella, one of the first English gentlewomen to set foot on American shores, and Anne Bradstreet, a devout Puritan whose lyrical prose solidified her place as America's "first poet." We also meet Mrs. Hutchinson, a formidable advocate for religious tolerance, and Mrs. Mary Dyer, a Quaker executed for her beliefs. These women lived lives of both privilege and adversity. We learn about the domestic life of Lady Arbella, the literary achievements of Anne Bradstreet, and the martyrdom of Mrs. Hutchinson and Mrs. Dyer. This book not only chronicles the lives of four remarkable women, but also explores the complex social, political, and religious landscape of early colonial America. Through their stories, we gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by the women who helped shape the foundations of the United States.
