- **Event Name**: VIRTUAL The Founding Mothers: The Women who Shaped a Nation
- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 16 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: The “Mothers” of America aren’t often mentioned – the women whose influence on the early years of the United States reverberated for centuries afterwards. While many of us remember reading something about Martha Washington and Abigail Adams, there are so many more women to admire. Whether they assisted in the years-long Revolutionary War, or had one brief moment of heroism, their actions had long-lasting and nation-building effects. 

As we observe America @250 this year, this illustrated virtual lecture focuses on the remarkable women who had a first-hand view of the founding of our nation, and whose stories need to be shared. Join Laura Keyes as she shares their history, their bravery, and their surprising legacies.  Learn about soldiers, writers, printers, scholars, farmers, artists, and spies – all women, and all vital to our nation’s history.

Laura Keyes graduated from UW-Madison with a Master’s Degree in Library Studies, and has been portraying women from history and lecturing on historic topics for over fifteen years.  She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Wheels O' Time Museum, the Association of Lincoln Presenters, and the Illinois Library Association. In her non-existent spare time, Laura is a wonderful baker and accomplished vocalist. 

This program is being presented virtually over Zoom.  Registration is required and the Zoom link will be emailed the day before the event.

It is made possible with the support of The Friends of the Livingston Public Library
