- I'm an award-winning journalist and author of six nonfiction books, specializing in women and social history. I'm also director of the Cape Cod Writers Center Conference.
My articles have appeared in the New York Times, The New England Quarterly, Huffington Post and other national magazines.
Beacon Press published my latest book, DEFIANT BRIDES, in April 2013. As a result I appeared on C-span's BOOKTV in May. Here's the link if you'd like to see my presentation:

Here are several recent reviews:
With the seemingly endless parade of books devoted to both founding fathers and revolutionary rascals, it’s nice to see some attention paid to the fervor with which some remarkable women navigated the romantic, political, and wartime challenges of the era." ---- BOOKLIST
“ Nancy Rubin Stuart succeeds in rendering a clear picture of the world in which the wives of mid-eighteenth-century leaders and military officers lived. … From the perspectives of these two distinctly different personalities, the author breathes life into a complex period of history as the reader watches an emerging nation take shape.” -- ForeWord Reviews
Beacon Press also published "THE MUSE OF THE REVOLUTION: The Secret Pen of Mercy Otis Warren in hardcover in 2008 and in paperback in 2009. The book received the Historic 1699 Winslow House Award in 2009.
Of that work, Library Journal wrote "This wonderfully researched and readable book has done an excellent job of giving another view of what it took to make this country. Essential for academic and public libraries. Enjoy!"
In 2008-2009 C-Span's Book TV aired my talk at Brown University on MUSE OF THE REVOLUTION. I'm currently under contract for a new book due out in 2013. - Woonplaats
