Ann Martin Taylor

-
Having borne and educated a remarkable family of precocious authors, AMT followed her daughters Ann and Jane and her son Isaac into print in 1814, and produced a series of conduct books and a volume of devotional writing. She aims her humane yet deeply religious advice at women in their roles as daughters, mothers, wives, employers, and domestic servants.
