{"product_id":"stripped-and-script-kacy-dowd-tillman-9781625344328","title":"Stripped and Script: Loyalist Women Writers of the American Revolution","description":"Female loyalists occupied a nearly impossible position during the American Revolution. Unlike their male counterparts, loyalist women were effectively silenced-unable to officially align themselves with either side or avoid being persecuted for their family ties. In this book, Kacy Dowd Tillman argues that women's letters and journals are the key to recovering these voices, as these private writings were used as vehicles for public engagement. Through a literary analysis of extensive correspondence by statesmen's wives, Quakers, merchants, and spies, \u003ci\u003eStripped and Script\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new definition of loyalism that accounts for disaffection, pacifism, neutralism, and loyalism-by-association. Taking up the rhetoric of violation and rape, this archive repeatedly references the real threats rebels posed to female bodies, property, friendships, and families. Through writing, these women defended themselves against violation, in part, by writing about their personal experiences while knowing that the documents themselves may be confiscated, used against them, and circulated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kacy Dowd Tillman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1625344325\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781625344328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Massachusetts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/23\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.80d","brand":"Kacy Dowd Tillman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43939337568511,"sku":"9781625344328","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f62e69ea-f262-47d0-98e9-f22cfa6c463f.jpg?v=1681440904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stripped-and-script-kacy-dowd-tillman-9781625344328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
