I didn't know her.
How could I?
We were born one hundred and forty-six years apart, and yet I think of Maria Monk each and every day.
I offer this by way of explanation.
Things are about to become quieter and dustier here as I focus on a book I'm writing about Maria and the Presbyterian clergymen who did her wrong.
In fact, the artwork used, Jean-Jacques Lequeu's And we too shall be mothers, because...!, dates from 1794. Maria Monk was born in 1816.
Still, I was tempted.
