In the 18th century, a woman’s world was defined by her position in her community and her home, family, and work. She was a “domestic being.” When telling the story of important events, like the American Revolutionary War, women are all too frequently a footnote. Perhaps Molly Pitcher or Abigail Adams is mentioned. By simply changing perspective when examining the surviving records of this time, one finds that North American women were critically involved. This talk explores 18th century “domestic beings” to discover some of the ways women stepped outside of their proscribed roles during the Revolutionary War period. Led by Gail White Usher, an educator and researcher working in New England’s early history. She is currently education coordinator for Historic New England at Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, Connecticut. Usher is also President of the Woodstock Historical Society and Chairman of the Woodstock Historic District Commission.
