Her poems, plays and pamphlets – and ultimately her 3-volume history of the revolution – established her as a key political thinker of the movement for independence. But she walked a fine line: she never meant to \"transgress the boundaries of (her) sex\" and always thought of herself as a wife and mother first. To discuss her life and women's part in the political philosophy of the revolution, I'm joined by Mercy's biographer, Rosemarie Zagarri.\nRead the books\n🇺🇸 Buy Rosemarie Zagarri's books in the US\nA Woman's Dilemma: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution: https://bookshop.org/a/79408/9781118775011\nRevolutionary Backlash: Women and Politics in the Early American Republic: https://bookshop.org/a/79408/9780812220735\n🇬🇧 Buy Rosemarie Zagarri's books in the UK\nA Woman's Dilemma: Mercy Otis Warren and the American Revolution: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9178/9781118775011\nRevolutionary Backlash: Women and Politics in the Early American Republic: https://uk.bookshop.org/a/9178/9781666133929\n(Affiliate bookshop.org links support Broad History and indie bookstores.)\nJump to:","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/BR4UAONFPtQAbjdCzu8sEpojROQm7IqAM92ijb46AcU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81OTBh/ODM0NDQ4YTcwNzVh/NmYzNDk2NWU3NmIz/MWJiZi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
