History & Biography

“Drawing on formidable archival research, Fideler tells the story of Margaret Pearmain Welch, her life among intertwined Bostonian families, and her developing interest in women’s rights, pacifism, workers’ rights, and economic injustice. Partly from Welch’s own writing, a portrait emerges of an intelligent, surprisingly unconventional woman.”
