On the eve of the 250th anniversary celebrations of the Declaration of Independence, step back in time and converse with a founding mother, Mercy Otis Warren! Often described as the “muse of the revolution,” Warren brilliantly used her passion for poetry and prose to persuade others to join in the revolutionary cause. Listen and discuss with historian and award-winning educator, Michele Gabrielson, as she tells the story of how Warren rejected the conventional expectations of women in the 18th century and became the first female historian of the American Revolution from the writings of Warren herself.Michele Gabrielson is a local history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century. Michele additionally serves as the secretary for the Mercy Otis Warren Society, is a member of the Authenticity Standards Committee for Minuteman National Historic Park, and is the coordinator for the Battle Road Guides for the annual reenactment of the Battle of Lexington and Concord. She has received teaching awards from the MA Department of Education, the Massachusetts History Alliance, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Society of the Cincinnati.
