Book Synopsis New England Women Writers, Secularity, and the Federalist Politics of Church and State by : Gretchen Murphy
Book excerpt: Scholars have long known that early American women wrote pious, sentimental stories. This book uses biographical and archival sources to understand how their religious concerns fed into debates about democracy and belief in a republic, and offers a new account of their political participation and the process of religious disestablishment.
