The Business of Women: Female Enterprise and Urban Development in Northern England 1760-1830
The title should have been "Washington: A book filled with tangents and goes out of the way to tell you the founding fathers were forced to use slave labor to build the city, which almost didn't get built, but we're going to spend a lot of time telling you that they used slaves to build the city and not so much time about the nitty-gritty politics that went on behind the scenes of getting the city built, because they used slaves; if you want more substance behind how Washington, D.C. was built, read John Adams by David McCullough--he goes into more detail."
Maybe two stars is a little too brutal, but I found that Bordewich went in way too many directions in this book. (All though I found the bit on yellow fever in Philadelphia interesting; however, that belongs in a book on Philadelphia, not Washington, D.C.)
