A Women’s War: An Evening with The Museum of the American Revolution

Details

Description

Learn from the expert staff at the Museum of the American Revolution how to incorporate women’s perspectives into your instruction. When the Revolutionary War began, many women—free, indentured, and enslaved—saw their husbands, fathers, brothers, and sons head off to fight, some for a few months, others for years. In response, women played critical roles both before and during the war. They participated in boycotts and protests, maintained homes and communities, produced military supplies, followed the army, and even fought in battle. After the war, they navigated and sought to shape the revolutionary ideals in their newly independent states and the emerging nation. However, their experiences varied greatly depending on social status, education, location, loyalties, religion, race, and more.

By exploring these diverse perspectives, you’ll gain valuable insights into how to bring these important yet often overlooked stories into your classroom, enriching your students’ understanding of the Revolution’s impact on all members of society
