Join us as we welcome Dr. Antoinette van Zelm, Assistant Director of the Center for Historic Preservation, on Saturday, June 27, at 11 AM at Linebaugh Library in the upstairs Conference Room for a lecture titled Heroines Aplenty: Portrayals of Revolutionary-Era Women in Tennessee over the Years.
This talk explores how historians and other writers have depicted Revolutionary-era women who lived within the present-day borders of Tennessee between 1770 and 1810. As early as the mid-nineteenth century, Revolutionary-era Tennessee women were being lauded as “patriotic mothers” and “unsung heroines,” two interpretations that continued well into the twentieth century, even as new research expanded the image of early Tennessee women.
*This project is funded under an agreement with the State of Tennessee administered by the Tennessee Commission for the United States Semiquicentennial.*
