Brewster Historical Society: Janine Orr presents Mercy Warren Otis

Janine Orr, historical storyteller and former American history teacher, will present a compelling talk titled “My Encounters with Mercy Otis Warren: a Woman Ahead of her Time,” focusing on the life and influence of Mercury Otis Warren, a notable 18th-century figure from Barnstable County. Through her telling of personal encounters and insights, Orr will illuminate Warren's remarkable contributions to early American society and her progressive thinking during a time when women's roles were severely limited.
