Description
A pioneering study of Thomas Jefferson?s relationships with women in his personal life and in American society and politics. Abigail Adams, the women of Paris, and the wife of a British ambassador figure in the first of two closing chapters that examine Jefferson?s attitudes toward women in public life. In the last chapter, Kukla draws connections between Jefferson?s life experiences and his role in defining the subordination of women in law, culture, and education during and after the American Revolution.
