Selected Writings of Judith Sargent Murray

As a novelist, essayist, dramatist, and poet, Judith Sargent Murray candidly and often humorously asserted her opinions about the social and political conditions of women in late eighteenth-century America. As a committed feminist, she urged American women to enter a "new era in female history", yet published her own writings under a man's name in the hopes of more widely disseminating her ideas. This volume includes selections from The Gleaner, her major work, and other publications.Murray, Judith Sargent is the author of 'Selected Writings of Judith Sargent Murray' with ISBN 9780195078831 and ISBN 0195078837.
