If you were a woman born into a wealthy family in 1801, in the Hudson Valley in New York, what major inventions, events and publications would impact your upbringing and young adulthood? What would you remember?

I am looking for global and nationwide things, as well as local (eg - the North River Steamboat), and am particularly interested in memorable and specific personal experiences - like riding on a steam boat, or seeing a gas street light - rather than say, the impact of a political policy.

I'm also looking for published journals or letters from this time, local to the North East US, written by women (famous or not) in the 1800-1850 period, and any other resources that might be relevant. Thanks!
