About this product
Product Information
"A focused, fresh spin on Jeffersonian biography." -Kirkus Reviews In the tradition of Annette Gordon-Reed's The Hemingses of Monticello and David McCullough's John Adams, historian Virginia Scharff offers a compelling, highly readable multi-generational biography revealing how the women Thomas Jefferson loved shaped the third president's ideas and his vision for the nation. Scharff creates a nuanced portrait of the preeminent founding father, examining Jefferson through the eyes of the women who were closest to him, from his mother to his wife and daughters to Sally Hemings and the slave family he began with her.

A smart, eye-opening, vividly written saga of Monticello. It's an indispensable portrait of Thomas Jefferson like none other. Highly recommended!, Scharff weaves a fascinating tale, enriched by the insights of the best contemporary scholarship, and seamlessly constructed from family lore, letters, garden and account books, and Martha Jefferson s housekeeping journal. This is a terrific read!, "[A] luminous and long overdue addition to Jefferson scholarship. . . . This book is a tour de force; a must read for all who are interested in the early America, Jefferson, and Monticello." -- Annette Gordon-Reed, author of The Hemingses of Monticello: An American Family "A smart, eye-opening, vividly written saga of Monticello. It's an indispensable portrait of Thomas Jefferson like none other. Highly recommended!" -- Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History, Rice University, and author of The Wilderness Warrior "With wit and verve, Scharff introduces us to a new side of the Founding Father, unraveling the intricate ties between his public and private lives and creating an unforgettable portrait of a man bound up in the struggle between head and heart." -- Martha A. Sandweiss, author of Passing Strange: A Gilded Age Tale of Love and Deception Across the Color Line "It is not often that I spend a day reading a single book, but The Women Jefferson Loved is that gripping.

A grand, lively read." -- Linda Gordon, Professor of History, New York University, and author of Dorothea Lange: A Life Beyond Limits "If you think there's nothing new to learn about Thomas Jefferson, think again-and read this original, shrewd and above all compassionate book.
