Good Wives rescues our Puritan foremothers from anonymity by telling their astonishing real life stories. Idealized as meek, patient, prayerful, and other-worldly, these New England women emerge from Ulrich's study as hard-working traders, diplomatic negotiators in the Indian wars, skilled gossips, passionate wives, and occasionally murderers, adulteresses, and thieves.
