Judith Sargent Murray: She Wrote Into the Future

Harmonia tells the story of Judith Sargent Murray, one of America's earliest and most passionate advocates for the equality of women --- a woman who wrote the truth in 1779 and waited eleven years for the world to catch up. From a merchant family library in Gloucester to a private mansion in Natchez where her letters sat undiscovered for 164 years, Judith trusted the future enough to write into it. This episode explores the Universalist faith that grounded her convictions, the seeds she planted that the world is still growing, and the drawer we all have waiting to be opened.
