Angelica Schuyler Church: Women’s Shifting Power During the American Revolution
In celebration of Women’s History Month, Lorenzo State Historic Site will host speaker Danielle Funiciello for her presentation, “Angelica Schuyler Church: Women’s Shifting Power During the American Revolution.” Funiciello will look through the lens of “Schuyler Sister” Angelica Schuyler Church’s life to examine the way that women’s relationship to power changes over the course of the American Revolution and argues that Angelica was not an outlier in the way that she blurred the lines between the public and private sphere. Rather, women like Angelica persist in the historical records, while many women’s lives were wiped out by the archival collecting process of the early-19th-Century and beyond. Danielle Funiciello is the Interpretive Programs Assistant at Fort Ontario State Historic Site in Oswego, New York, holds her MA in Public History from University at Albany SUNY and is currently a PhD Candidate in History at the same institution.
