As we approach the 250th anniversary of American independence, this lecture recovers the hidden half of the Revolutionary story. Beyond the battlefield and the Continental Congress, women sustained the revolution through their labor, intelligence networks, and political activism, often at great personal risk. From camp followers and boycott organizers to spies and homefront revolutionaries, we’ll explore how women shaped the founding of the nation and then faded from its memory. Discover the patriots whose contributions were erased and why their stories matter today.
