# Event Details - **Event Name**: Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution - **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm – Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm (-04:00) - **Event Description**: Join us in person for a history talk about women in the American Revolution with historical fiction authors Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie.About this EventThe day after Mother's Day, we invite you to join us at the Old North Church for a talk about America's founding mothers. Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie, authors of the new historical fiction book A Founding Mother: A Novel of Abigail Adams, will talk about their research into the lives of women who participated in the American Revolution.Special attention will be given to Abigail Adams — wife of one president and mother to another — whose wit, willpower, and wisdom helped shape the fledgling republic. In the heart of revolutionary Boston, Abigail Adams raised her children amid riots, blockades, and the outbreak of war. While her husband, John Adams, rose from country lawyer to nation-builder, often away for years at a time, Abigail built her own independence — managing their farm, making lucrative investments, amassing savings, battling plague and loss, and defending their home. Unafraid to speak her mind, she famously offered fearless political counsel, urging John to “remember the ladies” in the new government. Through it all, she becomes his most trusted confidante and indispensable ally.5:30pm - Light refreshments in Old North's courtyard6:00pm - Stephanie and Laura will deliver a talk about women in the Revolution6:40 pm- Q&A session with Stephanie and Laura7:00pm - Book signingCopies of A Founding Mother will be available to purchase onsite.This event is free and open to the public.

A stunning historical novel with modern-day implications from the New York Times bestselling authors of America’s First Daughter and My Dear Hamilton.In the heart of revolutionary Boston, Abigail Adams raises her children amid riots, blockades, and the outbreak of war. While her husband, John Adams, rises from country lawyer to nation-builder, often away for years at a time, Abigail builds her own independence—managing their farm, making lucrative investments, amassing savings, battling plague and loss, and defending their home. Unafraid to speak her mind, she famously offers fearless political counsel, urging John to “remember the ladies” in the new government. Through it all, she becomes his most trusted confidante and indispensable ally.When peace is secured, Abigail steps onto the world stage — exchanging ideas with Thomas Jefferson in the French countryside, navigating court life as the wife of the Minister to Great Britain, and presiding over the parlor politics of the early American republic in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. Even after her husband’s presidential administration, she continues battling political foes and working behind the scenes to advance her family, secure independence for the women in her life, and ensure a better life for the next generation of Americans.From war-torn streets to the chandeliered halls of power, A Founding Mother is the unforgettable story of a woman ahead of her time — one whose voice, vision, and valor still resonate powerfully today. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/boston/founding-mothers-women-of-the-revolution/100001987450244181 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, nonprofit, womens-history-month - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Boston - **state**: MA - **country**: United States - **location**: Old North Church - **lat**: 42.366326 - **long**: -71.054394 - **full address**: Old North Church, 193 Salem Street, Boston, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/2d92de88e6d723d62948a585e39c0c093a48b96d53e6a6250911f9d896961119-rimg-w1200-h600-dc384864-gmir.jpg?v=1776270907 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution being held? - **A:** Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution takes place on Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Mon, 11 May, 2026 at 07:30 pm at Old North Church, 193 Salem Street, Boston, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution? - **A:** Founding Mothers: Women of the Revolution is organized by Old North Illuminated. - **Q**: Who is this event for?
