This talk will explore a wide range of women – New England midwives\, working-class New Yorkers\, middle-class wives moving with their families to frontier locations (like Indiana)\, enslaved women in the tobacco and rice fields of the South – whose work in their family homes and in the nation’s shops and farms was vital to the success of the new nation.  \n\n\n\n\n	\n		\n			About the Lecturer\n\n			\n		\n	\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMelissa Estes Blair is a professor of history and department chair at Auburn University.
