Cornelia Dayton presents: The American Revolution Homefront: New England Families & Women’s Lives in Turmoil
Join us at the La Grua Center on Wednesday, October 28th for a fascinating evening with Dr. Cornelia H. Dayton. Dr. Dayton will highlight New England women on the homefront whose lives were suddenly or violently disrupted and who wrote about it. Their stories help us grapple with the emotional toll exacted by political strife and war. Diaries, letters, and court records offer windows onto white and Black women’s fears and strategizing. She will also explore the ways in which courtships and marriages were tested or ended amid revolutionary discord.
