"Female Genius: Eliza Harriot and George Washington at the Dawn of the Constitution" with Mary Sarah Bilder.
Presented on May 31, 2022.

Mary Sarah Bilder examines the rise of a radical new idea in the English-speaking world of the 1780s: female genius. Bilder finds the perfect exemplar of this phenomenon in English-born Eliza Harriot Barons O’Connor. This pathbreaking female educator delivered a University of Pennsylvania lecture attended by George Washington as he and other Constitutional Convention delegates gathered in Philadelphia. As the first such public female lecturer, her courageous performance likely inspired the gender-neutral language of the Constitution.
