Today we are talking about two gals named Theodosia Burr. Both gals received well-rounded education (uncommon for gals at the time) but also both grew up in single-parent homes. Their connection to a Aaron Burr certainly gives a complexity to their lives but as you’ll find out, they were pretty complex themselves.  We’ll do our best to keep them clear with using Mama Theo - she’s one married to Aaron Burr, and Daughter Theo - she’s the child of Mama Theo and Aaron Burr and the subject of the beautiful song in the musical “Dear Theodosia.”

Your Gal Friday is covering the five amazing sisters from the Schuyler family. Today the Schuyler's are most famous from the Hamilton musical featuring Angelica, Eliza and Peggy. In their real life, the Schuyler family has been in America since the 1650's cementing themselves as one of the most influential in America's founding. Even though these women couldn't actively participate in politics like their fathers, brothers and husbands, they found a way to have their voices heard.  This is the real life history and legacy of your gals, the Schuyler Sisters.
