Teach-In On America's Founding - Rosemarie Zagarri - Founding Mothers, How Women Shaped The Founding

In the revolutionary era, politics were thought to be exclusively the provence of men. Hear how women made an impact in America's founding without having an official stake in government and politics. This is the fourth lecture in the Teach-In on America's Founding presented by the University of Oklahoma. The Teach-In On America's Founding is one of the single greatest collections of teaching about our country's founding ever put together. The University of Oklahoma is becoming a national leader in making civic education an integral part of the college experience through the Institute for the American Constitutional Heritage (iach.ou.edu). Through this 5-lecture series and discussion panel, leading American historians offer insights on Thomas Jefferson's Founding, George Washington's Gift, What Made the Founders Different, How Women Shaped the Founding and Our Jacksonian Constitution. A solid understanding of our country's constitutional foundations has never been more important.
