A number of remarkable women played major roles in King Philip’s War: making history-changing decisions, performing heroic deeds, and lending support in innovative ways. Mr. Lodi includes accounts of what daily life was like for women; the “stealth and stratagems” employed by Indian women acting as spies; restrictive laws and how some Englishwomen defied them; and the vengeance taken by women in Marblehead on two hapless captives. A book signing will follow. Sponsored by the Friends of Pine Hawk and the Acton Historical Society.
