Mary Ann Jung: Margaret Brent and the Indians

Always entertaining, Mary Ann Jung returns to TWCRP to portray formidable feminist and “Founding Mother” of Maryland, Margaret Brent. If you don’t know who Margaret Brent is, you should! Brent, the first woman to demand the vote in America, was educated and outspoken—things women in the 1600’s were not supposed to be. She was also guardian to a Piscataway princess, so we will learn about Native American culture and the dramatic first meeting of the settlers and local indigenous people.
