While you know that the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776, did you realize that for several months after the text was first made public, the names of the signers were withheld for fear of charges of treason? Or that a woman's name appeared on the first copy of the Declaration which published those names? On May 12th you'll have the opportunity to "meet" that woman, Mary Katherine Goddard, as interpreted by local historian, Marilyn Harris.
This presentation is a partnership between the Louttit Library and the West Greenwich Preservation and Heritage Commission.

Underpinning the sensationalism of battle reports & broadsides is the often silent steadiness of women’s work with textiles. The choices they made every day about fashion and fabric consumption & creation drove the course of Revolution just as determinedly as any congress. As southern New England commemorates the 250th anniversary (semiquincentennial) of the War for Independence, it is these local lives dressed in fulled wool or spun silk that continue to inspire creativity, resilience, and empathy in us today. From the mythology of homespun to legends of midnight rides in red cloaks & calashes, the Dirty Blue Shirts share stories of women who waged war on multiple fronts as well as a look at what they wore as their worlds turn’d upside down. This program is presented by costumed historians and includes reproduction clothing pieces & fabric samples as well as a PowerPoint presentation with images of extant originals.
