Book Review

Catharine Macaulay and Mercy Otis Warren: The Revolutionary Atlantic and the Politics of Gender. By Kate Davies. (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005. xii, 319 pp. $95.00, ISBN 0-19-928110-6.)

Kate Davies's book offers a much-needed analysis of the lives and careers of the two most eminent women historians of their time, Catherine Macaulay and Mercy Otis War ren. Macaulay, of course, was the author of a multivolume history of England that celebrated the Whig ascendancy and lambasted corruption in both the Crown and Parliament. Warren, besides authoring numerous political poems and plays against British tyranny in the 1760s and 1770s, later published a comprehensive analysis of the causes and development of the American Revolution. Not only contemporaries who chronicled their nation's respective histories, they were friends who often suffered a common fate because of their anomalous role as women who were interested in the masculine realms of politics and war.
