  • Married Women Traders of Nantucket, 1765-1865
    AGENCY: MARRIED WOMEN TRADERS OF NANTUCKET, 1765-1865 MARY L. HEEN* ABSTRACT Before the enactment of separate property and contract rights for married women, generations of married women in seaport cities and towns conducted business as merchants, traders and shopkeepers. The ®rst part of this article shows how private law facilitated their business activities through traditional agency law, the use of powers of attorney, trade accounts and family business networks. These arrangements, largely hidden from public view in family papers, letters, and diaries, permitted married women to enter into contracts, to buy and sell property, and to appear in court. Private law, like equity, thus pro- vided a more ¯exible alternative to the common law of coverture under agree- ments made within the family itself. On the other hand, public law proved much more restrictive for wives who were not part of a viable or harmonious mar- riage. In post-revolutionary Massachusetts, for example, the feme sole trader statute and various judicially adopted exceptions to the legal disabilities of married women under the common law applied only to certain wives abandoned by their husbands. The second part of the article provides a case study of three generations of married women traders from Nantucket during the whaling era, the oil explora- tion business of its time. Their stories show how some married women, within the constraints of the law as it developed in Massachusetts without courts of eq- uity, attained a form of autonomy in business or commercial activity at the same time that they ful®lled their family responsibilities. Their stories also uncover tensions underlying the ®rst wave of women's rights reform efforts in the mid-nineteenth century, including the developing separation between work and home that continues to pose challenges for family law and for men and *.

Available on Millstone.com, consumers can discover the distinctive “bean to cup” journey – bringing to life the process, precision and care that make each cup of Millstone Coffee a premium coffee experience. “Every cup of Millstone Coffee delivers a moment of excellence,” said Maribeth Badertscher, Vice President, Corporate Communications, The J.M. Smucker Company. “Millstone Coffee starts with premium Arabica beans and the taste, aroma and variety tell a story of discovery, character and quality. We are thrilled to share the story behind our coffee beans and unveil the journey that ends with the exceptional Millstone Coffee that our consumers know and love.” Millstone Coffee’s premium taste and flavor variety is a result of the brand’s precise bean to cup process that involves an intricate method of growing, roasting, and blending: Growing – Each bean is handpicked from trees that have been carefully cultivated by coffee farmers. Handpicking protects the trees and ensures only the ripest beans are selected for peak flavor. Roasting – There are only minutes between a lightly roasted bean and a dark one. Millstone master roasters know precisely how long to coax each bean to peak flavor – from mellow and mild to dark and rich.
