When you set up roots in a community, cool things happen. Mary Ann Little – owner and artistic director at Bella Couture Salon – is living that truth. After moving to Melissa, she opened her boutique hair salon in downtown Melissa. The community welcomed her with open arms, but it was a recent introduction to a certain Melissa resident that makes Mary Ann Little's story special. It exemplifies the heart of this community. #powerofcommunityBella Couture Salon: https://www.bellacouturesalonandboutique.com/City of Melissa: https://www.cityofmelissa.com/Music: https://www.purple-planet.com

Episode 11: Mary Ann Little (Bella Couture Salon)

The idea behind this show is pretty simple: We invite scholars, makers, and professionals out to brunch for an informal conversation about their work, and then we turn those brunches into a podcast.It’s a tough job, but somebody has to do it.Ann Little is a professor of history at Colorado State University who specializes in the history of women, gender, and sexuality, with a focus on early North America. She is the author of two books, most recently The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright. Published by Yale University Press, it won the 2018 Albert B. Corey Prize, awarded jointly by the American Historical Association and the Canadian Historical Association for the best book dealing with the history of Canadian-American relations or the history of both countries.Born in 1696 in New England, Esther Wheelwright was captured by Wabanaki Indians when she was seven and raised by them until age 12, when she was enrolled in a French-Canadian Catholic convent. Wheelwright would eventually become the only foreign-born mother superior in the convent’s history.Ann and host Ted Fox talked about the circumstances that would’ve given rise to an experience like Wheelwright’s, how the convent helped her carve the space to author a life that was truly unique, and why her relative anonymity today belies her prominence in colonial America.

On Incredible Women and a Story Too Good to Pass Up—Ann Little, Colorado State University

Esther Wheelwright

Colonial America comprised many different cultural and political worlds. Most colonial Americans inhabited just one world, but today, we’re going to explore the life of a woman who lived in THREE colonial American worlds: Frontier New England, Northeastern Wabanaki, and Catholic New France. Ann Little, an Associate Professor of History at Colorado State University and the author of The Many Captivities of Esther Wheelwright, leads us through the remarkable life of Esther Wheelwright, a woman who experienced colonial America as a Puritan New English girl, Wabanaki daughter, and Ursuline nun in Catholic New France.
