Remember the Ladies – Mendham Township Library

Mendham Township Library Celebrates America 250
Remember the Ladies at the Mendham Township Library

On Thursday, September 24th at 7pm, join historic program presenter, Joan Schaible as she presents Remember the Ladies at the Mendham Township Library.

Before and during the American Revolution, women individually and collectively rose to the cause! They first took action against British taxes and the limits on daily needs. Once the conflict began, females served troops as camp followers, rallied as spies, secretly delivered important messages, and even took up arms in battle. Join Joan Schaible as she explores some of these amazing ladies and discover their contributions in the fight for independence.
