SUMMARY:In the Margins: Women Printers in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:18th century newspapers and pamphlets were essential to the dissemination of information and were instrumental in fanning the flames of discord on both sides of the revolutionary conflict.  While the job of printing was largely considered a masculine activity\, widows\, wives\, and daughters took up the mantle of a free press.  Not only did women printers set the type that would be read and shared by readers and subscribers\, but in some cases even ran and owned their own printing operations. In this lecture\, learn about the indispensable role that women in printing played in the pivotal events leading up to the American Revolution.    \nMichele Gabrielson\, MA Ed\, is a local history teacher and historic interpreter of the 18th century and was recently acknowledged with a Rising Star Award by the Massachusetts History Alliance for public history programming. She specializes in interpreting the history of colonial women printers\, 18th century chocolate production\, and of course\, the revolutionary playwright and poet Mercy Otis Warren. Gabrielson additionally serves on several historical committees dedicated to helping preserve the history of colonial America\, 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.
