In the ‘Thirteen’ series, I identified women from each of the thirteen colonies. These entrepreneurial women created, invented, and contributed to their Colonial and Early American communities through their crafts and occupations. Windows into their fractured lives appear through legal documents and letters. These deferential portraits frame them and their enterprising history.
