"It Was I Who Did It" Women in the American Revolution The American Revolution touched the lives of women - Patriot and Loyalist, White, Native American and African American - in dramatic ways. They traveled with the army, fought as soldiers, worked on the home front, and were active as propagandists during a time of rising political consciousness. In her 2013 George Rogers Clark Lecture, Carol Berkin of Baruch College will address the varied ways the American Revolution changed - and did not change - the lives of American women. Friday, October 25 at 6:30 pm, view it live at the link below. http://fora.tv/event/2013_clark_lecture_by_carol_berkin_women_in_the_american_revolution/livestream<http://fora.tv/event/2013_clark_lecture_by_carol_berkin_women_in_the_american_revolution/livestream> Carol Berkin is Presidential Professor of History, Emerita, at Baruch College & the Graduate Center, City University of New York.
