In addition to raising three daughters and three sons, the determined mother helped support the family by establishing schools for girls in the various places they lived.
		Readers who remember "The Peabody Sisters of Salem," by Louise Hall Tharp, a popular biography published more than 50 years ago, will be intrigued to find that Marshall has solved the mystery of Elizabeth's unidentified early suitor, L.B.

	ThoughtCast » The Peabody Sisters
		Author Megan Marshall has recently written a well-received biography of the three Peabody sisters - Elizabeth, Mary and Sophia - who were key players in the founding of the Transcendentalist movement in the early to mid 19th century.

		Megan wants to counteract antifeminist stereotypes, understandably, but I wonder whether if we had to live with Elizabeth we would feel the world was simply unjust to her because her ambitions were improper for a woman.
