From the acclaimed author of A Wilderness So Immense comes a pioneering study of Thomas Jefferson's relationships with women, both personal and political. The author of the Declaration of Independence, who wrote the words âall men are created equal,â was surprisingly uncomfortable with woman. In eight chapters, Kukla examines the evidence for the founding father's youthful misogyny, beginning with his awkward courtship of Rebecca Burwell, who declined Jefferson's marriage proposal, and his unwelcome advances toward the wife of a boyhood friend. Subsequent chapters describe his decade-long marriage to Martha Wayles Skelton, his flirtation with Maria Cosway, and the still controversial relationship with Sally Hemings. A riveting study of a complex man, Mr. Jefferson's Women is sure to spark debate.From the Trade Paperback edition.
Review: “Fascinating. . . . Serious, meticulous, and well-written.” —The Boston Globe “A fine, critical and needed study of one aspect of Jefferson's complicated and extraordinary life.” —The Times-Picayune “Kukla knows his period. . . . As the last few years have made abundantly clear, Thomas Jefferson was rather less sterling than his prose.” —The New York Times Book Review“Will make people with open minds think again about what they believe.” —Richmond Times-Dispatch “Persuasive and entertaining.” —American HeritageFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
