This book profiles 23 European women who lived in the United States during the Colonial era. Some of the women made significant contributions in business and government at a time when few women had that opportunity. Others were known mainly through their husband’s accomplishments, and their biographical profiles were mostly about the men in their lives. There are some factual errors, such as the statement that printing was invented during Lady Deborah Moody’s lifetime (1586-1659). One of the 23 women, Penelope Stout, was my 9th great-grandmother. The details of her life are more legend than fact, with the first accounts appearing in print several decades after her death. Her profile presents this information as fact rather than legend. Each profile includes at least three bibliographical references to other secondary sources. The bibliographies are the most useful feature of the book, since readers will need to consult other sources to confirm the information presented in this book.

This is a book of biographies of 23 European women who were among the earliest arrivals in Colonial America. They came to found their homes in a wilderness or to carry out the work of their religious denomination. Most never got to return to visit their childhood homes or relatives, performing hard work daily the rest of their lives. Eliza Lucas Pinckney and others came looking for financial gain; some such as Ann Lee came to escape religious persecution; a few such as Margaret Brent came looking for adventure. Also profiled in this book are Priscilla Mullins Alden, Alice Carpenter S. Bradford, Margaret Tyndal Winthrop, Anne Marbury Hutchinson, Mary Barrett Dyer, Lady Deborah Dunch Moody, Penelope Van Princis Stout, Lady Frances Culpeper Berkeley, Margaret Hardenbroeck Philipse, Elizabeth Haddon Estaugh, Henrietta Deering Johnston, Susanna Wright, Sister Marie Madeleine Hachard, Elizabeth Timothy, Elizabeth Murray Smith, Margarethe Bechtel Jungmann, Mary Barnard Williams, Mary White Rowlandson, Jane Randolph Jefferson, and Anne Dudley Bradstreet.
