This thoughtful biography traces the life of Esther Hewlett Copley (1786–1851), a woman of deep conviction, quiet strength, and remarkable literary productivity. Best known for her widely read practical guides and religious writings, Esther lived a life shaped by faith, family hardship, and the persistent call to write. She was the author of nearly 100 books, including Cottage Comforts , Female Excellence , and A History of Slavery and Its Abolition . Drawing on family papers, historical sources, and one of Esther’s own forgotten books, this biography offers fresh insight into her early years, spiritual development, and determination to support her children through her pen. Written in the genre of Imaginative History, the book remains true to the facts while exploring the inner life of a woman who quietly defied the constraints of her time. Both accessible and carefully researched, this is the first full-length biography of Esther Hewlett Copley—a woman who, though largely forgotten, deserves to be remembered.
