History Talk: Women and the American Revolution
Sunday, October 11 from 1-2 PM.
129 Spring Street, Newton NJ
During the 16th Annual Sussex County Heritage Weekend, step beyond the familiar stories of founding fathers and battlefield victories to discover the powerful, often overlooked women from the American Revolution.
Join Joel Farkas for an illuminating history talk that brings to life 25 remarkable women who broke the mold and defied 18th-century expectations. At a time when women were expected to remain silent and unseen, they became spies, strategists, writers, business owners, and even soldiers. Their courage, intelligence, and resilience helped fuel a revolution and found a nation.
You’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Revolution not just as a military conflict, but as a social turning point shaped by women left out of the history books.
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or simply curious about the untold stories of America’s founding era, this presentation promises fresh insight and inspiring perspectives.
Celebrate Heritage Weekend and rediscover the Revolution through the forgotten stories of women who helped make it possible.
