Who tutored Mercy Otis Warren?

Answer 1

Mercy Otis Warren was home schooled. Her home schooling emphasized Latin writers. She was furious that Harvard did not accept girls. She continued reading after she got married and left home.

Her classical education did more for the United States in the era following the French and Indian War through the Federalist Period than any education Harvard probably would have given her. During the era of the Intolerable Acts she wrote plays about Roman Leaders opposing similar horrors as the ones England placed on the Colonies. She wrote plays expressing the reasons Rome had to fight wars to be a free people. When Washington received tremendous flack as president she wrote how Cincinnati had unwillingly returned a second time to lead Rome out of a mess.

For her, home schooling in Latin was a great investment.
