      title = {Book of ages : the life and opinions of Jane Franklin /},
      abstract = {"From one of our most accomplished and widely admired  historians, a revelatory portrait of Benjamin Franklin's  youngest sister and a history of history itself. Like her  brother, Jane Franklin was a passionate reader, a gifted  writer, and an astonishingly shrewd political commentator.  Unlike him, she was a mother of twelve. Benjamin Franklin,  who wrote more letters to his sister than he wrote to  anyone else, was the original American self-made man; his  sister spent her life caring for her children. They left  very different traces behind. Making use of an amazing  cache of little-studied material, including documents,  objects, and portraits only just discovered, Jill Lepore  brings Jane Franklin to life in a way that illuminates not  only this one woman but an entire world--a world usually  lost to history. Lepore's life of Jane Franklin, with its  strikingly original vantage on her remarkable brother, is  at once a wholly different account of the founding of the  United States and one of the great untold stories of  American history and letters: a life unknown." --  Publisher's description.},
