Remember the Ladies: It Happened Here

March is Women’s History Month, and we plan to celebrate it with a virtual program on Revolutionary Women.

250 years ago on March 31, 1776 Abigail Adams wrote a letter to her husband John: “in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all Men would be tyrants if they could. If particuliar care and attention is not paid to the Laidies we are determined to foment a Rebelion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation. ”

Please join cultureNOW, the Lower Manhattan Historical Association, & the Massachusetts Historical Society for a symposium.
