Women Pulling At The Threads of Social Discourse: The Epistle
March 27, 2026 through May 30, 2026
website
For the 8th edition of Women Pulling at The Threads of Social Discourse, we want to look back 250 years at the letters written to and by women during The American Revolution. These letters were often a combination of: their wishes, fears, and acts. Realizing that these women mailed one another sharing their focus on not only patriotism and the struggle at hand, but also shared their feelings and fears revolving around and in their own families as the war approached, arrived and ultimately ended. These women showed their ability to be integral in many key moments during this revolution - as they navigated a society that collectively held little value in women. For example, Abigail Adams, Deborah Sampson, Sybil Ludington, Phyliss Wheatley, Elizabeth Freeman, Esther Reed and many more, named and unnamed all played their part.
