The Widow Washington: The Life of Mary Washington

byMartha Saxton

In The Widow Washington, Martha Saxton presents a biographical portrait centered on the Life of Mary Washington. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and history. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention. It is written for readers seeking substance as well as a clear path through the material.
