Come hear award-winning author and historian Denise Kiernan talk about her new book, Obstinate Daughters. With each of her books, Kiernan uncovers the long-forgotten stories of those left to the margins, and now with Obstinate Daughters, she rewrites the story of America’s birth, finally giving the women who kept the colonies running and liberty alive the recognition they deserve—perfectly timed for the 250th anniversary of American independence. Copies of the book will be available for purchase at the venue through The Book Worm Bookstore of Powder Springs.
Join us for a virtual conversation with leading historians and authors presented in partnership with the National Constitution Center.
