Part of the America250 lecture series.
The role of women is sometimes minimized or overlooked in histories of the founding of the United States. This presentation will tell the stories of some of the women – including Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren, Phillis Wheatley, and Mary Wollstonecraft – who played crucial roles in the politics, economics, and culture of the time, as well as provided direct support for the war effort during the American Revolution.
This lecture recording can be found on the Available Recordings page approximately two business days after the event and will remain accessible for three weeks.
