Reproduces a collection of historical and literary writings of Judith Sargent Murray, a native of Gloucestor, Mass. Murray is regarded by many historians as the first American feminist writer. She was the wife of sea captain John Stevens (1741-1786); the wife of the Rev. John Murray (1741-1815), founder of the Universalist denomination in America; and sister of Winthrop Sargent (1753-1820), secretary and acting governor of the Northwest Territory and first governor of the Mississippi Territory. The collection includes twenty letter books containing manuscript copies of outgoing letters written by Judith Sargent Murray between 1765 and 1818, one manuscript volume of Murray's essays entitled "The Repository ...", and four manuscript volumes of her poetry.
