Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers. The work you do is important. Mothers make the world go round! Episode 51, we’re celebrating American Revolutionary Mothers and their accomplishments with historian, author, playwright, actress and storyteller Darci Tucker. She is the author of a one-woman play, Revolutionary Women, and the book ‘Embodying the Story through Character Interpretation’. We focus on two incredible women, Jane Long, nicknamed “Mother of Texas” and her contributions behind-the-scenes during the Republic of Texas’s creation, and Deborah Sampson, a woman who disguised herself as a man to fight in the elite forces in the American Revolutionary War. We also discuss the challenges faced by historical women and how the role of motherhood has changed. This is an episode, you won’t want to miss!
