Item Description
The Letters I Left Behind: Letter Book 10 is part of a multiyear project to transcribe and publish each of Judith Sargent Murray's twenty letter books in print.
Judith Sargent Murray (1751-1820) came of age at a time when women in the British colonies had virtually no political role. And yet this self-educated, spirited daughter of the prominent, civic-minded Sargent family wanted to participate. She insisted upon it. She created a public voice for herself through her writing. When her essay "On the Equality of the Sexes" appeared in the Massachusetts Magazine in 1790, she became one of the earliest voices for equality between women and men in America. She went on to advocate for female education, economic independence, and political power. She wrote more generally about citizenship in the new nation, federalism, virtue, and philanthropy. What kind of society would Americans create? Through her many published essays, Judith Sargent Murray was a familiar and respected voice in the national conversation.
