Book Talk:ANGELICA: For Love and Country in a Time of Revolution

The moment the eldest Schuyler sister stepped onstage in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s blockbuster musical, Hamilton, Angelica reintroduced herself to the world as the dynamo sister-in-law to Alexander Hamilton. In her own story, Angelica was this and more. She was a networker and influencer, an aisle-crossing cultural liaison, and a soft-power powerhouse whose efforts to advance the cause of the American Revolution spanned three countries. In a new biography, ANGELICA: For Love and Country in a Time of Revolution, author Molly Beer retraces the life of this charismatic, border-transcending American woman.
