The Women Jefferson Loved: A Multi-Generational Historical Biography―Thomas Jefferson, Sally Hemings, and the Enslaved Family

â€œA focused, fresh spin on Jeffersonian biography.â€ â€”Kirkus Reviews
In the tradition of Annette Gordon-Reedâ€™s The Hemingses of Monticello and David McCulloughâ€™s John Adams, historian Virginia Scharff offers a compelling, highly readable multi-generational biography revealing how the women Thomas Jefferson loved shaped the third presidentâ€™s ideas and his vision for the nation. Scharff creates a nuanced portrait of the preeminent founding father, examining Jefferson through the eyes of the women who were closest to him, from his mother to his wife and daughters to Sally Hemings and the slave family he began with her.
