Considering Women's Contributions in Colonial Pennsylvania

Join us at Historic Rock Ford on Sunday, April 12 for an enlightening session in the Untold Stories of the Revolution Lecture Series. ✍️

Renowned speaker Mickey Herr will dive into her fascinating research titled, "That One Day Women Will Be Treated and Thought of the Same Way as Men: Considering Women’s Contributions to Colonial Pennsylvania."

Discover the remarkable stories of women from Colonial Pennsylvania, including ministers, interpreters, diarists, an inventor, and even a fur trader! 🌟 This journey of discovery not only transformed Herr’s understanding but also inspired the creation of the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America’s docuseries, "For the Common Good: The Women Who Shaped Our Nation," spotlighting influential women in American history.

Mickey will particularly emphasize Lancaster-area figures, such as Ann Wood Henry—the first woman to hold public office in Pennsylvania!
