Thanks to Lin-Manuel Miranda’s hit musical Hamilton, Alexander Hamilton is back in the public eye. Leslie Goddard portrays all three very different women – without ever leaving the stage. They and our other Founding Mothers could not vote or own property, but they were fervently patriotic and passionate women whose tireless pursuits on behalf of their families – and their country – proved just as crucial to the forging of a new nation as the rebellion that established it.Īlthough best known by the men they married, Hamilton’s wife and sisters-in-law were unmistakably Revolutionary. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, amidst the powder keg of the early days of the Revolution, the Schuyler sisters are at the center of it all – including political treachery and scandal. They dressed in the latest fashions and were courted by the most powerful men.
The Schuyler sisters, Angelica, Eliza, and Peggy – daughters of the wealthy Philip Schuyler, Revolutionary War general and later U.S. All three Schuyler sisters portrayed by Leslie Goddard from Chicago, IL
