Women are almost invisible in most accounts of the Revolutionary War on Long Island, even though they experienced more than seven years of British occupation, skirmishes, and calculated humiliations. Natalie A. Naylor, who taught Long Island and American social history for more than 30 years at Hofstra University and is a Long Island history scholar, will discuss the little-known role of Long Island women during the years of the American Revolution, shedding light on what life was like for women during the war and how they coped.
