The Founding Mothers, with Laura Keyes

For our nation’s 250th Anniversary, we’re celebrating the “Mothers” of America—the women whose influence on our country’s early years is often overlooked. Learn about soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies—all women, and all vital to our nation’s history.

This Illustrated Lecture focuses on the remarkable women who had a first-hand view of the founding of our nation, and whose stories need to be shared. Join Laura Keyes as she explores their history, their bravery, and their surprising legacies.
