History books have largely overlooked Mary Williams. If she gets any nod at all, it is a mere mention that she is the wife of Roger Williams, the great 17th-century political thinker and founder of Providence and the Colony of Rhode Island. On Tuesday, March 30, as the culminating event in our celebration of Women’s History Month, Roger Williams University invites the community to discover the story of Mary Williams and the lives of other 17th-century women in “More Than Roger’s Wife: Writing Mary Williams into the Historical Record.” Through her presentation, Charlotte Carrington-Farmer, Associate Professor of History at RWU and resident scholar of our University namesake, strives to tell a fuller story about Mary Williams, beyond her life as a wife and mother.
WHEN: Tuesday, March 30; 7 p.m.
COST: Free
