About This Item
Philadelphia, PA: American Philosophical Society, 2006. First. Softcover. VG (with unbroken spine, all pages clear and intact). Orange and bw illustrated wraps with white lettering on orange spine; 129 pp. with no illustrations. "In 1783, Princess Ekaterina Dashkova was appointed director of Russia's Imperial Academy of Arts and Sciences by Catherine the Great. It was just two years after she had met with another fascinating personality of the Enlightenment - Benjamin Franklin, founding president of American Philisophical Society. This volume, published as a companion to an exhibition of the same title and on the occasion of Franklin Tercentenary of 2005, highlights Dashkova as an accomplished Enlightenment woman. It explores how she, like Franklin, took up the challenge of the living according to the newest ideals of her age. Nominated by Franklin in 1789 to become the first female member of the American Philosophical Society, she in turn made him the first American member of the Russian Academy." - blurb from back of book.
