The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright:Communities of Women in the Northeast Borderlands
Dr. Ann M. Little
Professor of History
Colorado State University, Fort Collins
How can we write about women and men whose lives are not traditionally well-documented in the textual sources historians prefer? Ann Little tells how she wrote a biography of a woman whose life crossed cultural and religious borders in early
America, and shows what it can tell us about the lives of all women in early America.
Ann Little was raised in the Great Lakes region of the United States near the Canadian border and educated at Bryn Mawr College and the University of Pennsylvania. She teaches early North American history, women’s history, and the history of sexuality at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. She also writes about history and sexual politics at Historiann.com, and lives with her family in Greeley, Colorado.
