Ep. 52- Women in the American Revolution

We've heard a lot about soldiers, spies, and political leaders during the American Revolution — and most of them were men.

In this episode, we're joined by an Allyson Schettino of the New York Historical Society, an expert in women's history, to hear what the ladies were up to.

Check out their Women in the American Story resources (here's the revolution specifically).
