520 |a "This volume highlights some of the women Washington knew: women who admired and memorialized him; women who provided him love and solace; women who frustrated him; women who worked for or against him. The essays reveal the lives of a diverse group of women, from plantation mistresses to enslaved workers, loyalists and patriots, poets and socialites, as well as mothers, wives, and sisters.
