Her Name Was Mary Katharine and she (kinda) signed the Declaration of Independence.

Her Name Was Mary Katharine: The Only Woman Whose Name Is on the Declaration of Independence by Ella Schwartz

January 24, 2022 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

Her Name Was Mary Katharine Goddard and she signed the Declaration of Independence. No really! Like the young woman who struck out Babe Ruth, Jackie Mitchell, she was a woman of the Revolution War (and before) who did grand things and you probably do not know she even existed.
