| Annotation | A woman daydreaming by her window in Philadelphia is visited by the male, or at least that is the pronoun used, “angel of the paradise of female patriotism,” who urges her to visit this paradise, which requires an apparently dangerous trek over a mountain. On her arrival, she finds a garden where women from all eras, mostly in separate areas, live. Although some have already arrived, a separate hill is reserved for women from the thirteen colonies, and among the women who will reside there will be those who opposed the revolution but have seen their error and become patriotic Americans. |
