Few women of the American Revolution have come through 250 years of US history with such clarity and color as Angelica Schuyler Church. She was Alexander Hamilton’s “saucy” sister-in-law, and the heart of Thomas Jefferson’s “charming coterie” of artists and salonnières in Paris. The eldest daughter of one of New York’s most important families, Angelica was raised to be a domestic diplomat responsible for hosting Indigenous chiefs and enemy British generals for dinner at their northern Hudson River home. Later, she became Madame Church, wife of a privateer turned merchant banker. Angelica’s transatlantic network of important friends spanned the political spectrum of her time and place, and her astute eye and brilliant letters kept them well informed. Don’t miss hearing from author Molly Beer and historian Julie Flavell about Angelica, Beer’s new biography offering an enthralling and revealing woman’s-eye view of Colonial America and the Revolutionary era.
