The Revolution wasn’t won by generals alone. In this companion lecture to the Webb Deane Stevens Museum's exhibition Remember the Ladies: Women of the Revolution, Zara Anishanslin introduces us to the women who shaped the war for independence—from those who rallied communities and supplied armies to the enslaved women whose pursuit of freedom exposed the deepest contradictions of the new nation. These are stories of courage, resourcefulness, and influence that have waited too long to be told. Zara Anishanslin is a historian of Early America and the Atlantic World specializing in eighteenth-century material culture.
