Margaret Draper (?-1807)
When your husband dies, you become the manager
of a publishing business and a Loyalist newspaper, the
Massachusetts Gazette. Confident you can run the newspaper on your
own, you fire your assistant because he has revolutionary ideas.
Ironically, you continue to publish almanacs containing Patriot
views, purely to make money. You are determined to stay in business
even during the Siege. Your newspaper is
the only one that stays in print in Boston at that time. You leave
your homeland and flee to Englan
