The Founding Mothers

An Illustrated Lecture by Laura Keyes

The “Mothers” of America aren’t often mentioned – the women whose influence on the early years of the United States reverberated for centuries afterwards.

While many of us remember reading something about Martha Washington and Abigail Adams, there are so many more women to admire.

Whether they assisted in the years-long Revolutionary War, or had one brief moment of heroism, their actions had long-lasting and nation-building effects.

Join us as presenter Laura Keyes shares her portrayals of the women soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies who were 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. Laura will shares their history, their bravery, and their surprising legacies.
