The astonishing true story of the Public Universal Friend—a genderless minister whose radical vision of freedom challenged the promises—and limits—of the American Revolution.
Early in the morning of October 10, 1776—in the small farming community of Cumberland, Rhode Island, in a house surrounded by cherry trees—twenty-three-year-old Jemima Wilkinson died, and the Public Universal Friend was born.
Old Cherry Wilkinson’s children had already gained a reputation for scandal. Two of his boys had been dismissed from the local Quaker meeting for joining the colonial militia, while a girl was expelled for having a baby out of wedlock. Now, here was another Wilkinson child, riding about the countryside, claiming to be a genderless messenger of God.
Yet something about the Public Universal Friend set war-ravaged New England ablaze. The young minister seemed to embody the possibilities offered by the new nation, especially the right to total self-determination. To authorities, however, the minister was “the devil in petticoats,” a threat to the men who sought to keep America’s power for themselves.
And so the Public Universal Friend ventured west to create an Eden on the frontier, a place where everyone would have the right to not only life, liberty, and the pursuit happiness, but also peace and shared prosperity. But into every Eden comes a snake. And soon, financial scams, contested wills, adultery, plagiarism, allegations of murder, and murmurs of another war with England would threaten to destroy this new American utopia.
A thrilling celebration of a forgotten early American renegade, Not Your Founding Father reconsiders just how radical the American experiment could have been.

批評家のレビュー
"An engrossing production."
"Em Grosland’s bright, engaging narration pairs well with this new biography of the founder of the Society of Universal Friends. Born to a Quaker family in Rhode Island, Jemima Wilkinson (1752-1819) emerged reborn from a near-death illness in 1776 with a “celestial mandate” to evangelize as the Public Universal Friend, an ungendered minister. Their grassroots ministry spread across Rhode Island and western New York, among other regions, and welcomed all people. Grosland performs with keen interest, enlivening nuanced portraits of the Society’s devoted followers as well as the ex-devotees who waged protracted legal battles and leveled salacious accusations."
“Engagingly recounted... showing us the story of a person—eccentric, faithful, and wholly sui generis—who was one of the most intriguing figures of the independence generation.... Sankovitch clearly admires her subject—and if you read the book, you will too.”

“Nina Sankovitch’s extraordinary book considers the mysteries of faith as well as the burdens of being all-too-human. Today, when so many of us wonder where we fit in, it is breathtaking to be reminded that—just as the Universal Friend declared in 1776—'there is room' on earth for every soul. Not Your Founding Father is haunting, heartbreaking, and wise.”

“The birth of the Public Universal Friend is up there with the signing of the Declaration of Independence and Washington’s crossing of the Delaware as one of the feel-good sensations of 1776.... The mind thrills to imagine a genderless prophet among the brocades and buckskin breeches of Revolutionary America, weirding out the normies, sticking a flower in the barrel of a musket, and goading the new nation to let its hair down—literally.”

“An excellent account… Sankovitch persuasively presents the Friend as a unique force in Revolutionary War times.”

“Riveting... a transfixing look at a remarkable leader whose belief in ‘the equality of all souls’ still resonates.”
