Join
historian Lew Taylor as he discusses the life and writings of Mercy Otis
Warren. Born in Barnstable, MA, Mercy Otis Warren was a female patriot who stoked
the fires of revolution with powerful arguments. She incorporated many of her
ideas into poems, pamphlets, and satirical plays, and she also wrote a three
volume history of the American Revolution. Her keen interest in politics led to
friendships with many of the famous leaders of the American Revolution, whose
names are still remembered today.
