Post Body

I mean these two women are truly the dominant ladies of the century.

Benjamin Franklin pretty much lived parallel lives with both of them. Im more so interested in Maria Theresa because she is, of course, from the family of the Holy Roman emperor.

But how did the American founding fathers deal with them? Did they get good press in American newspapers?

It really seems like there is an enormous discrepancy between the early Americans and the Habsburg family in Vienna. We hardly hear one mentioning the other.
