In his talk, Voorhees explores the prominent role women played in the 1689-1691 New York uprising against King James II's government, popularly known as the "Leisler Rebellion," and women's involvement in New York politics a generation after the English takeover of New Netherland, in both the local and broader Atlantic World contexts. The event takes place at 6:00 p.m., in person only, in the Community Room of the Hudson Area Library, 51 North Fifth Street.
