Kurzbiographie
Mercy Otis Warren, whose home in Plymouth was a gathering place for the Sons of Liberty and other patriots, became America's first female playwright. She wrote several dramas satirizing the colonial government that foreshadowed the American Revolution, and served as a chronicler of the era. Mercy was a member of political and literary circles that included Abigail and Samuel Adams, Catherine Macaulay, George and Martha Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. She is the first woman to have written a history of the American revolution.

"A multiplicity of business has as yet permitted me to dip but a little into it [your book of poems]; but yet sufficiently to foresee that it will soothe some of my moments of rest from drudgery, and will add another illustrious name to the roll of female worthies, made for the ornament as well as vindication of their sex. I see in it too, and with peculiar pleasure, a demonstration the more ... of the illiberality of that hypothesis which has supposed a degeneracy even of the human race on this side the Atlantic." - Thomas Jefferson to Mercy Otis Warren, 25 Nov. 1790 [PTJ 18:77-78]… (mehr)
