Alexandra Wallner.
This picture book biography details the life of a Patriot poet who kept her identity hidden until years after the Revolutionary War. The informative text drives home the message that expectations for women in the eighteenth century were low; excerpts of Warren's poems are challenging but manageable for an intermediate audience. The pale-toned gouache illustrations capture the New England parlor atmosphere.
