Lunch & Learn
Friday, February 27 at 12:30
Chapman Cultural Center
When we think of the American Revolution, familiar male names often take center stage, but women were fighting, leading, spying, organizing, and shaping history every step of the way.
From the fields of the South Carolina backcountry to the streets of Boston, these women defied expectations and changed history: Eliza Lucas Pinckney, Jane Thomas, Kate Barry, Sarah Fulton, Nancy Hart (Wahatche), Mary Ludwig Hays, Deborah Sampson, Mammy Kate, Phillis Wheatley, and Hannah Till. Join us for this month’s Lunch & Learn that will shine a spotlight on the fearless women who helped forge a nation.
Lunch and Learn is sponsored by the Chapman Cultural Center
There are a limited number of seats, be sure to register in advance (even members!)
Admission: $5 for non-members / Free for SCHA members.
Don’t forget to bring your lunch!
