Seth Curtis Beach's Daughters of the Puritans is a collection of biographical sketches that explores the lives and contributions of notable women descended from the Puritans who played important roles in American society. The book primarily focuses on women from the 17th and 18th centuries, celebrating their resilience, moral strength, and intellectual contributions that were shaped by the Puritan heritage.The Puritans, a religious group that sought to purify the Church of England, played a significant role in the early history of the American colonies, particularly in New England. Beach’s work highlights how their descendants, particularly the women, upheld the values of their ancestors while navigating the complexities of American life in the post-Puritan era.
