Escaping Matrimony is a documentary history of hundreds of husbands
and wives who ran away from one another over the course of the
eighteenth-century. In this collection of elopement advertisements,
men and women protested marriage, challenged coverture, and
declared themselves independent and free. In an endeavor to
discredit and intimidated their spouses, husbands and wives used
early American newspapers to achieved at once voice and agency in a
complex world that would have preferred that they endured unnoticed
and in silence.
