In honor of International Women’s Day, the Villa Albertine at La Maison Française at the French Embassy, which throughout the year presents a vast range of programs aimed at making French language and culture accessible (check it out!), this spring hosted a panel discussion on the role of women of both countries in the American Revolution. Participants were historian/author Samantha Snyder and history professor/author Lauren Duval, moderated by scholar and lecturer Faya Causey. The conversation was fresh, lively, and informative, and I came away with the intention to seek out their respective books.
