Children are taught much about the men who shaped early America, but historyshaping colonial women remain largely unknown and undiscussed. The Extraordinary Suzy Wright sets about to change that, telling the littleknown story of Quaker Susanna (Suzy) Wright (16971784), a renowned poet and political activist. Suzy helped settle the Pennsylvania frontier, where she acted as legal counselor to her less literate neighbors, preparing wills, deeds, indentures, and other contracts. Surviving documents and correspondence between Suzy and a host of her contemporariesincluding Benjamin Franklin; James Logan, Pennsylvanias governor and chief justice; and a few signers of the Declaration of Independencereveal that Suzy, from her home on the frontier, exerted considerable influence in the highest circles of Pennsylvania government. This fascinating and inspiring story includes an authors note, bibliography, and index.
