Everyone learns about Paul Revere, but almost no one learns about the women who risked everything to found America. Filmmaker and producer Shari Rigby joins Jenny Beth Martin to talk about Defiant Ones, an immersive audio drama about the bravest women of the Revolution, built on the letters between Abigail and John Adams and her plea to "remember the ladies." It launches July 2, the day John Adams believed we would celebrate independence, just ahead of America's 250th birthday.
Guest: Shari Rigby, actress, director, and producer (October Baby, Overcomer), founder of Beautifully Flawed Productions and the Women in My World ministry, and creator of the Defiant Ones audio drama.
Today's topics:
• Why the women who founded America were left out of the story we all learned
