Hardy, Beatriz Betancourt. "Women and the Catholic Church in Maryland, 1689-1776." Maryland Historical Magazine 94 (Winter 1999): 396-418.
Notes: A comparison of the experiences of two Catholic colonial women - Jane Doyne, an elite woman from the lower Western Shore, and Jenny, an enslaved woman on the Eastern Shore. Roman Catholicism was a significant part of their lives, and as women they served an important role in maintaining and transmitting the Catholic faith. However, their different status had an impact on their religious experiences.

Jabour, Anya. Marriage in the Early Republic: Elizabeth and William Wirt and the Companionate Ideal. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998.
Notes: In the early American Republic the beau ideal was in vogue. It called for companionate marriage characterized by egalitarian, loving relations between husband and wife whose mutual happiness was foremost. Unfortunately, other ideologies prevented the reaalization of the beau ideal. Men pursued the cult of the self-made man, and women found value in the cult of domesticity (true womanhood) which stressed women's duties in the home and rebuked the male dominated public sphere. The Wirts wanted the beau ideal, but separate duties, often in separate locales, undermined their efforts.

Jacob, Kathryn Allamong. "The Woman's Lot in Baltimore Town, 1729-97." Maryland Historical Magazine 71 (Fall 1976): 283-95.
Notes: Finds that "with few exceptions the Baltimore woman's whole life style and social status was largely determined by the wealth of the men in her life" (283). Marriage and procreation was a woman's lone duty. Large families were the norm, and illegitimate births were common, often resulting in mulatto children. In addition, financial necessity forced many women to work outside the home. Married women of all classes were <em>femme covert</em> (legal non-entities). Single women and widows had <em>femme sole</em> (legal entity) status.

She was a remarkable woman with an indomitable spirit.
