This is a fabulous book about a strong female character who writes political news for a newspaper, during a time when women weren’t allowed to participate in politics.  Of course Mercy had to use a pen name, but her work stirred a lot of emotion, debate and rhetoric for the masses to contemplate.  She was 75 years old the first time she penned her name to her work!  She did much to record the history of our revolution in the United States.  Recommended!
