Penelope Winslow, Plymouth Colony First Lady: Re-Imagining a Life

By Michelle Marchetti Coughlin

A thoroughly researched and richly detailed account of the life of Plymouth Colony First Lady Penelope Pelham Winslow, wife of Josiah Winslow, the first American-born Governor of Plymouth Colony. Historian Michelle Marchetti Coughlin explores the life of a colonial English woman of influence during the eventful years of Plymouth Colony's early beginnings, the eruption of war, and the end of its independence. Tracking fragmentary records and traces of Penelope Winslow's material world, Coughlin illuminates the story of a long forgotten historical figure and offers fresh insight into the experiences of women in early New England.
