Publisher's Synopsis
""Jessie Benton Fremont: A Woman Who Made History"" by Catherine Coffin Phillips is a biography of Jessie Benton Fremont, an influential woman in 19th century America. Fremont was the daughter of Senator Thomas Hart Benton and the wife of John C. Fremont, a famous explorer and politician. The book explores Fremont's life and accomplishments, including her role in her husband's expeditions, her involvement in the abolitionist movement, and her work as a writer and political activist. The author also delves into the challenges Fremont faced as a woman in a male-dominated society, and the ways in which she navigated these obstacles to become a prominent figure in her own right. Through extensive research and engaging prose, Phillips paints a vivid portrait of a remarkable woman who played an important role in shaping American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
