Write On, Mercy! The Secret Life of Mercy Otis Warren
In the 1700s, women were relegated to home and house duties — but not Mercy Otis! Her father believed in educating girls and boys. Even after marrying James Warren, Mercy wrote about the politics of Massachusetts. Her accomplishments come alive through a straightforward text with inserts of Mercy's writing and illustrations that evoke the period.
