About

Join Stratford Hall for the virtual lecture “Reclaiming Women’s Power in the American Revolutionary Era” with Dr. Jacqueline Beatty.

Dr. Jacqueline Beatty is an Associate Professor of History at York College of Pennsylvania, where she teaches courses in Early American, Women’s and Gender, and Public History. Her 2023 book In Dependence: Women and the Patriarchal State in Revolutionary America explores the ways in which women in Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston manipulated their legal, social, and economic positions of dependence and turned these constraints into vehicles of female empowerment. Dr. Beatty’s published scholarship also includes “A Revolution of One’s Own” in The American Historian (Spring 2024) and “Complicated Allegiances: Women, Politics, and Property in Post-Occupation Charleston,” in Holly Mayer, ed., Women Waging War in the American Revolution (UVA Press, 2022). Her publicly-engaged work may be encountered in The Washington Post and Time and in C-SPAN’s Lectures in History Program.

This is a virtual lecture taking place on Zoom. Advance registration is required. The Zoom information will be shared prior to the event.
