“This month’s Book Chat features a special conversation with Mary Keenan, author of the newly released book Petitions: A Patriot Legacy!
In pre-Civil War America, the most effective grassroots method of enacting change was the humble petition. Particularly for women who were unable to vote, this was an invaluable tool to create a better society for themselves and others. Keenan explores these documents that enacted civil action on topics such as abolitionism and women’s suffrage.”
