Founding Mothers & FathersBy: Mary Beth Norton In this pioneering study of the ways in which the first settlers defined the power, prerogatives, and responsibilities of the sexes, one of our most incisive historians opens a window onto the world of Colonial America. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary documents, Mary Beth Norton tells the story of the Pinion clan, whose two generation record of theft, adultery, and infanticide may have made them our first dysfunctional family.

By: Mary Beth Norton     
In this pioneering study of the ways in which the first settlers defined the power, prerogatives, and responsibilities of the sexes, one of our most incisive historians opens a window onto the world of Colonial America. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary documents, Mary Beth Norton tells the story of the Pinion clan, whose two-generation record of theft, adultery, and infanticide may have made them our first dysfunctional family. She reopens the case of Mistress Ann Hibbens, whose church excommunicated her for arguing that God had told husbands to listen to their wives. And here is the enigma of Thomas, or Thomasine Hall, who lived comfortably as both a man and a woman in 17th century Virginia. Wonderfully erudite and vastly readable, Founding Mothers & Fathers reveals both the philosophical assumptions and intimate domestic arrangements of our colonial ancestors in all their rigor, strangeness, and unruly passion.



"An important, imaginative book. Norton destroys our nostalgic image of a 'golden age' of family life and re-creates a more complex past whose assumptions and anxieties are still with us."--Raleigh News and Observer

Fiancé Approved

Perfect for my fiancé's new job. He said it's fit is true to size and it is more comfortable than the one he got at a store in the mall.

Very wrinkle free and sheds off liquids well.
Color: White, Size: X-Large
Very very nice shift. I’m usually XL and that’s what size I purchased and it fits perfectly. I recently purchased one for my sons 5th grade graduation and the fit and feel was better than the 80.00 and 89.00 shirts I purchased for him at Dillard's, which were returned.

Great shirt!
Color: White, Size: X-Large
This shirt is all that! It's beautiful and feels soft yet very stable fabric. White is always somewhat see through but this one isn't bad, unless you wore black under it. My husband loves it!
