This enthralling work of scholarship strips away abstractions to reveal the hiddenand not always stoicface of the "goodwives" of colonial America. In these pages we encounter the awesome burdensand the considerable powerof a New England housewife's domestic life and witness her occasional forays into the world of men. We see her borrowing from her neighbors, loving her husband, raisingand, all too often, mourningher children, and even attaining fame as a heroine of frontier conflicts or notoriety as a murderess. Painstakingly researched, lively with scandal and homely detail,
is history at its best.
