Chautauqua History Alive: Martha Washington
to
Spartanburg County Public Libraries Headquarters Library 151 South Church Street, Spartanburg, South Carolina 29306
On the upcoming anniversary of the stunning Patriot victory at the Battle of Cowpens, let us (as Abigail Adams, another Revolutionary Grande Dame, urged her husband, John) – also “remember the ladies.” You see, women wanted independence just as much as men. Martha Washington has a lot to say about these other Grande Dames – their courage, what they risked, and how they influenced the outcome of the Revolution. These are stories that are begging to be told. You'll laugh; you'll be amazed; you'll have questions, and Martha Washington will answer them. Martha Washington will be portrayed by Maggie Worsdale from the Traveling Literary Theater in Charleston, S.C. Admission and parking are free.
