Eliza Hamilton: Founding Mother

Eliza Hamilton: Founding Mother is a biography of Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, telling the story of how this spirited woman went far beyond her role as Alexander Hamilton's wife to become a champion for orphaned children and a keeper of American history. She helped found New York City's first orphanage and spent fifty years preserving her husband's legacy after his death. This book is a great choice for students because it brings an often-overlooked historical figure to life, encouraging young readers to learn about the courage and contributions of women in early American history.
