Abrams, First Ladies of the Republic: Martha Washington, Abigail Adams, Dolley Madison and the Creation of an Iconic American Role (New York University Press) (And if you’ve written one that I’ve somehow overlooked, please forgive me-no slight is intended!) If you know of a book slated for release in 2019 that’s not on here, please add it in the comments. I’ve done my best to pore through university press catalogs and keep track of people’s forthcoming work, but I’m sure I’ve missed some.

Want to feel overwhelmed? Try to keep up with the new work to be published over the next six months in US intellectual history and adjacent fields-yikes! There is so much exciting scholarship coming out, in many cases the products of groundbreaking research with extensive import on present political and social dilemmas.
