"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.
