John Adams, who was impressed with Mrs. Warren’s acumen and literary abilities, praised her “real genius” and encouraged her to write satirical plays, poems, and a history of the American Revolution. —Christine Kreiser, Managing Editor, American History Magazine “Playwright, poet, and historian, Mercy Otis Warren was both a witness to and chronicler of some of the most important events of the American Revolution. —Rosemarie Zagarri, George Mason University and author of A Woman’s Dilemma: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution “‘History,’ John Adams told Mercy Otis Warren, ‘is not the province of the ladies.’ Those, as Adams learned quickly, were fighting words.
