About Catharine Macaulay
Catharine Macaulay was an English historian. She was the first Englishwoman to become a published historian and during her lifetime the world's only published female historian. Macaulay was the first English radical to visit America after independence, staying there from 15 July 1784 to 17 July 1785. Her visit included a visit to Mount Vernon where she met with George Washington. Macaulay's most prominent work was an eight-volume Whig history of England in which she argued that the people have the right to overthrow their monarch for their own natural rights.
