The Spinster, the Rebel, and the Governor: Margaret Brent, Pre-Colonial Maryland 1638-1648

There's an unsung woman asking for the vote 224 years before you. Margaret Brent, fighting for justice, became a voice in court for other, educated an Indian princess, built a fort, and saved pre-colonial Maryland from destruction. The American Bar Association each year honors select women attorneys such as Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Sandra Day O'Connor, with The Margaret Brent Award.

"A robust imagining of the life of a largely unsung hero." -Kirkus Reviews
