The history of the Revolutionary War is often viewed as a man’s story, as they were often on the frontlines and making the seemingly vital decisions. However, looks can be deceiving. Come join us in honoring Women’s History month as public historian Mary Cooper presents the critical role played by women in the Revolutionary War both on the frontlines and at the home front. This lecture will explore on a broad scale the role of women as well as highlighting specific key players in American Revolutionary history. Additionally, it will present what Virginia women in particular did during the time that tried both men’s and women’s souls.
This program is non-refundable unless the museum cancels the program. Having trouble registering? Please call 703-549-2997 or email [email protected]
