Known as the “Conscience of the American Revolution,” before women could even vote, Mrs. Warren, a brilliant founding mother, was anonymously writing scathing satirical plays to mock British tyrants, hosting top-secret patriot meetings with John and Abigail Adams, and fiercely campaigning for your individual rights to be protected by the Bill of Rights. As America’s first female historian, her sharp wit and bold defiance helped shape the very foundation of modern liberty.
