There are big gaps in our knowledge of these women. A gouge in the banister at the Schuyler mansion was allegedly left by a tomahawk thrown at her during that rescue. During a Tory raid on the Schuyler mansion in Albany in 1871, she left the family’s hiding spot to rescue her infant sister, left behind in her cradle. Beautiful but supercilious, she married her cousin, a deeded landowner of staggering wealth. Peggy Schuyler Van Rensselaer fares worse. One admirer called her “muse, confidante, and thief of hearts.” Yet until the musical, she was barely remembered. The brilliant and witty Angelica Schuyler Church married a wealthy British politician and moved in high political and social circles in both Europe and America. The record isn’t any better when it comes to her sisters. Good-natured and devout, she spearheaded the building of the Washington Monument, opened the first private orphanage in New York City, and raised seven children on her own.

Hamilton’s roles as a soldier in the American Revolution and as a Founding Father of the United States are being discussed on a scale not seen since his lifetime. 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.
