MR. JEFFERSON'S WOMEN(ISBN=9781400078578) 英文原版 snb txt 网盘 pdf kindle 2025 lit 下载

　　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 “all men are created equal,” 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.
