Biographical
Sketch
Born January 19, 1940 in New York City. Career as a historian:
assistant professor of history, U of Virginia, 1964-65; editor-in-chief of
Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, 1965--; history professor,
George Washington U 1966--. Founding Mothers was
unplanned. DePauw had planned an extended bibliography on women in the American
Revolution that was never published. However, it attracted the attention of the
editors of Ms. Magazine who published it as a 'Story for Free Children' in
1974. Houghton Mifflin then picked up on it and asked her to make it into a
book for young people to be published in time for the Bicentennial. She had
never expected to write for young people, but she did this one and it was well
received. Biographical Sources: Something About the
