This blog will focus on how the lives of women living along the American Atlantic coast changed over the 18th century. The blog will use first-hand accounts whenever possible; so that the reader can compare & contrast those changes over time. ...
Images & essays cluster around some chronological, social, cultural, or academic theme. I try to choose images that justify their inclusion on aesthetic grounds.
