This enthralling work of scholarship strips away abstractions to reveal the hidden - and not always stoic - face of the "goodwives" of colonial America. In this book, we encounter the awesome burdens - and the considerable power - of a New England housewife's domestic life and witness her occasional forays into the world of men. We see her borrowing from her neighbors, loving her husband, raising - and, all too often, mourning - her children, and even attaining fame as a heroine of frontier conflicts or notoriety as a murderess. Painstakingly researched, lively with scandal and homely detail, Good Wives is history at its best.

Learn to pronounce local place names!

My only complaint, though, is that the narrator could easily have taken the time to correctly pronounce place names, such as Piscataqua, Saco, etc. I found it distracting and annoying. I am confident calling a local librarian in NH of ME would have provided correct pronunciation.
Great research by a great scholar!
