The "DAV Podcast: Her Service" dives into the largely untold stories of women's contributions during the American Revolutionary War. Host Jonathan Kaupanger, a self-proclaimed history "nerd," enthusiastically introduces listeners to Meg Bowersox, Manager of Gallery Interpretation at the Museum of the American Revolution. This episode highlights the lives of trailblazing figures like Deborah Sampson and Hannah Snell, who disguised themselves as men to enlist, exploring their motivations, challenges, and the societal context of their actions. Beyond these recognized veterans, the podcast also delves into the "gray areas" of history, discussing the debated realities of other influential women such as the mysterious Agent 355, the formidable Nancy Morgan Hart, the all-female "Mrs. David Wright's Guard," and the intriguing wax sculptor and alleged spy, Patience Lovell Wright, encouraging listeners to seek out and celebrate the diverse contributions of women veterans throughout history.
