A Perfect Union: Dolley Madison and the Creation of the American Nation
reviewed on + 7 more book reviews


This book interested me for several reasons among others. How did women in early america influence politics (to what they had available to them). The role of America trying to establish itself on the international stage with the ideas of what a 'republic' was.
How politics was shaped and played was unique to a time of great change and hope in the nation. Surprising things, like it was sometimes anticipated that people might read your personal mail and what a great symbol George Washington was to the nation.
