The Most Learned Woman in America: A Life of Elizabeth Graeme Fergusson

The Most Learned Woman in America masterfully narrates Fergusson's efforts to live an appropriately genteel life, even as she struggled against the limits that her society placed on its women. In the process, we can begin to understand the conflicts-internal and external-that women of the Revolutionary generation faced.
