Description

This enthralling work of scholarship strips away abstractions to expose the hidden–and now not at all times stoic–face of the “goodwives” of colonial The united states. In these pages we encounter the awesome burdens–and the considerable power–of a New England housewife’s domestic life and witness her occasional forays into the arena of guys. We see her borrowing from her neighbors, loving her husband, raising–and, all too steadily, mourning–her children, or even attaining fame as a heroine of frontier conflicts or notoriety as a murderess. Painstakingly researched, full of life with scandal and homely detail, Good Wives is history at its very best.
