BOOK OF AGES

Next month, we will be reading and discussing Book of Ages: The Life and Opinions of Jane Franklin by Jill Lepore at our Antemeridians Book Club meeting.  Jane Franklin was the youngest sister of Benjamin Franklin.  She was a reader, writer, and political commentator.  However, unlike her brother, she never had the opportunities to participate in the development of the United States' evolution.  Instead, she spent her time raising children and corresponding with her brother.
