== Penelope Barker quotation about tea parties == |
|||
The quotation by Penelope Barker supposedly "said at the time" she sent the statement to London rings ''incredibly'' false. It's not in an 18th-century idiom at all, it does not approach men's & women's relationship in society in the way that any contemporary writers do (including women who openly share their political views, like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren & Hannah Winthrop), and--critically--it refers to tea protests as "tea parties," something which didn't start happening until a hundred years later. It's cited to the National Women's History Museum's biography of Barker, which in fact makes no mention of the quote. I am removing the quote (and correcting the NWHM's URL) until someone can provide an ''ironclad'' citation for it.
