2026

One woman, Mary Katharine Goddard, signed the Declaration of Independence and risked hanging by doing so. She was supposed to marry and have children, living the ‘normal’ life of an 18th century woman. Destiny said otherwise. Instead, at the behest of her impulsive brother she moved from one colony to another, efficiently running his string of printing business ventures when he took off in pursuit of some new scheme. What led her to become the most daring woman in America – the woman willing to sign her name to treason?
