Despite Abigail Adams famously asking her husband and his fellow Founding Fathers to "...remember the ladies", history has largely forgotten women's contributions to the American Revolution. From Marth Washington to Mercy Otis Warren to lesser known historical figures like Elizabeth Freeman and Polly Cooper, this lecture will chronicle the extraordinary stories of the women who helped America win its independence.
