From well-known women like Abigail Adams and Deborah Sampson to lesser-known figures like Esther Reed and Shawnee leader Nonhelema\, we’ll meet women who fought and spied for both sides\, who argued for or against independence\, and who pushed the new nation to “consider the ladies” as the United States began to take shape.​ \n\n\n\n\n \n \n About the Lecturer\n\n \n \n \n\n\n\nDr. Melissa Estes Blair is Professor of History and department chair at Auburn University in Auburn\, AL\, where she has taught since 2015.
