EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Mercy Warren, an influential American patriot and writer during the 18th century. In this engraving from John Gilmary Shea's book, "A Childs History of the United States" we catch a glimpse of Mercy Warren's determined gaze and strong presence. During the tumultuous time of the American Revolution, Mercy Otis Warren played a significant role in shaping history. Her home became a hub for political meetings, where she fearlessly voiced her opinions against British rule. As an accomplished playwright, she used satire to criticize the British government in her play "The Adulateur" which was published in 1772. After the war ended, Mrs. Warren continued to contribute to literature with her volume of poetry published under her own name in 1790. Her most notable work came in 1805 when she penned "History of the American Revolution" providing valuable insights into this pivotal period. Mercy Otis Warren passed away in Plymouth in 1814 but left behind a lasting legacy as one of America's pioneering female writers and patriots. This portrait captures not only her determination but also symbolizes women's contributions during times of rebellion and revolution. As we admire this historic image, let us remember Mercy Warren's courage and intellect that helped shape our nation's history during its formative years.
