Women Who Wrote the Revolution | Lawrence News
Description
Denise Kiernan’s gripping new book, Obstinate Daughters, uncovers the hidden heroines of the American Revolution—writers, rebels, and trailblazers who defied norms and shaped history. Through meticulous research, personal travels to historic sites, and intentional spotlighting of diverse voices—from a British spy to a Cherokee leader and the first African-American female poet—Kiernan reveals how marginalized women’s contributions were pivotal yet overlooked. Inspired by her deep fascination with the founding era, she weaves together past and present to show how these resilient figures still resonate today, proving that history’s most inspiring stories often lie in the margins.
