Career
Anne Hoof was most likely born in the Netherlands around 1720. She emigrated to America and lived in Annapolis, Maryland. Green"s paper was the main source for news.
"The Maryland Gazette was the province"s principal source of news in the period leading up to the Revolution, and in its pages the issues of the day were hotly debated." John Dickinson"s celebrated Letters from a Pennsylvania Farmer were first published in that journal.
At the time it was a small two story house with a kitchen and two bedrooms. After the death of Jonas, in the April 16, 1767 issue of the paper Anne announced that she would continue to publish the paper.
She became the printer of the General Assembly, taking over her husband"s contract. The Maryland Gazette was critical of British policy.
Green had her portrait painted by Charles Willson Peale after he returned to America in 1769.
Under her guidance business was thriving, and she became one of the few women of her time to gain success in the male-dominated business world.
