The Sewing Girl's Tale: A Story of Crime and Consequences in Revolutionary America by John Wood Sweet.
A riveting Revolutionary Era drama of the first published rape trial in American history and its long, shattering aftermath, revealing how much has changed over two centuries – and how much has not.
The trial exposed a predatory sexual underworld, sparked riots in the streets, and ignited a vigorous debate about class privilege and sexual double standards…The crime and its consequences became a kind of parable about the power of seduction and the limits of justice. From Amazon.com
