Good Wives

Description

This enthralling work of scholarship strips away abstractions to reveal the hidden–and not always stoic–face of the “goodwives” of colonial America. Painstakingly researched, lively with scandal and homely detail, Good Wives is history at its best.

Written by historian Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, winner of the 1991 Pulitzer Prize for her book The Midwife’s Tale. Softcover. 296 pages.
