American Calliope: Mercy Otis Warren and the Writings of a Revolutionary with historic intepreter Michele Gabrielson

On the eve of the 250th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence, step back in time and converse with a founding mother, Mercy Otis Warren! Often described as the muse of the revolution, Warren brilliantly used her passion for poetry and prose to persuade others to join in the revolutionary cause. Listen and discuss with historian and award-winning educator, Michele Gabrielson, as she tells the story of how Warren rejected the conventional expectations of women in the 18th century and became the first female historian of the American Revolution from the writings of Warren herself.
