       marriage to Ben Franklin and his romances with other 
       women"--|cProvided by publisher. 
520    Benjamin Franklin: thrifty inventor, statesman of the 
       Revolutionary era... lover of women.  The most prominent 
       among them was Deborah Read Franklin, his common-law wife 
       and partner for 44 years. An independent, politically 
       savvy woman and devoted wife, she raised their children, 
       managed his finances, and fought off angry mobs at 
       gunpoint while he traipsed about England. Stuart also 
       introduces us to Margaret Stevenson, the widowed landlady 
       who managed Ben's life in London; Catherine Ray, the New 
       Englander with whom he traveled overnight and later 
       exchanged passionate letters; Madame Brillon, the French 
       musician who flirted shamelessly with him, and the witty 
       Madame Helvetius, who befriended the philosophes of pre-
       Revolutionary France and brought Ben to his knees. --
