NANCY RUBIN STUART has been writing since she was nine years old. She is the author of seven nonfiction books. Her most recent work, "Defiant Brides: The Untold Story of Two Revolutionary-Eva Women and the Radical Men They Married" was a selection of the Book-of-the-Month Club-2, the History Book Club and the Military Book Club. A high-energy, award-winning author/journalist Nancy specializes in social history, social trends and women. Long before today's War On Women and the consequent MeToo movement, Nancy's books placed the lives of important but often forgotten women on the historical record. Among her books are "The Muse of the Revolution:" "The Reluctant Spiritualist:" "American Empress;" "Isabella of Castile;" "The Mother Mirror" and "The New Suburban Woman." In 1987 Nancy published the biography of John Hays Hays Hammond, Jr., who is known as The Father of Remote Control. She has recently updated and digitized that work to make it again available to readers. She has appeared on national television, been heard on national radio, including NPR's "Morning Edition," and often speaks before live audiences. Nancy's journalistic work includes New York Times, the Huffington Post, New England Quarterly and American History magazine. She serves as Executive Director of the Cape Cod Writers Center and is a co-president of the Women's National Book Association, Boston chapter. www.nancyrubinstuart.com. www.facebook.com/NancyRubinStuart
