SUMMARY:Westford REV 250: In the Margins-Women Printers in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:In the 18th century\, newspapers and pamphlets were crucial in spreading information and stoking the fires of conflict during the revolutionary period. Although printing was primarily seen as a masculine profession\, women—such as widows\, wives\, and daughters—stepped up to embrace the responsibilities of a free press. These women not only set the type for the material that would be read and shared but\, in some cases\, also owned and managed their own printing businesses. \nIn this lecture\, you will learn about the essential contributions of women in the printing industry leading up to the American Revolution. \n*About the Speaker: Michele Gabrielson\, M.Ed. \nMichele is a professional historian and public educator with 17 years of experience teaching early American history. As a living historian and reenactor of the American Revolution\, she presents her talks in historically accurate\, hand-sewn\, and documented 18th-century clothing. \n*Suggested Donation: $10 per person \nYour contribution supports preserving and maintaining artifacts in the Westford Museum collection. Thank you for your support of the Westford Museum.
