On Tuesday, June 30, 6:30 pm, Laura Keyes will discuss “The Founding Mothers.”

This lecture will focus on the women whose influence on the early years of the United States reverberated for centuries afterwards. While many remember reading something about Martha Washington and Abigail Adams, there are so many more women to admire. Some assisted in the years-long Revolutionary War, or had one brief moment of heroism; their actions had long-lasting and nation-building effects. Attendees will learn about soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies — all women, and all vital to the nation’s history.

The illustrated lecture will focus on the remarkable women who had a first-hand view of the founding of the nation, and whose stories need to be shared.
