A vivid portrait of the women who loved, nurtured, and defended Americas famous scientist and founding father.

Everyone knows Benjamin Franklinthe thrifty inventor-statesman of the Revolutionary erabut not about his love life. Poor Richards Women reveals the long-neglected voices of the women Ben loved and lost during his lifelong struggle between passion and prudence. The most prominent among them was Deborah Read Franklin, his common-law wife and partner for forty-four years. Long dismissed by historians, she was an independent, politically savvy woman and devoted wife who raised their children, managed his finances, and fought off angry mobs at gunpoint while he traipsed about England.

Weaving detailed historical research with emotional intensity and personal testimony, Nancy Rubin Stuart traces Deborahs life and those of Bens other romantic attachments through their personal correspondence. We are introduced to Margaret Stevenson, the widowed landlady who managed Bens life in London  Catherine Ray, the twenty-three-year-old New Englander with whom he traveled overnight and later exchanged passionate letters  Madame Brillon, the beautiful French musician who flirted shamelessly with him, and the witty Madame Helvetius, who befriended the of pre-Revolutionary France and brought Ben to his knees.

What emerges from Stuarts pen is a colorful and poignant portrait of women in the age of revolution. Set two centuries before the rise of feminism, depicts the feisty, often-forgotten women dear to Bens heart who, despite obstacles, achieved an independence rarely enjoyed by their peers in that era.
