Rebecca Rush

Rebecca Rush was an American writer of the early 19th century.

Rebecca was born into a creative family of artists and in 1812 published her only known book "Kelroy". This novel was not very relevant during the war of those years, but nevertheless became notable for its witty look at the social rise and stratification of society in Philadelphia at the outbreak of the War of 1812. The marital intrigue that became the plot of the novel, which was written by a woman, made it popular: a mother pretends to be richer than she really is and tries to marry off her two daughters to rich men.
