EtherealEstephania:

Meryl Streep tells the story of Deborah Sampson, the first woman in history to take a bullet for her country…amazing how this story isn’t told in classes throughout the nation & that her name isn’t known.

Deborah Sampson was a badass. Al Yong wrote her biography, its titled Masquerade: The Life and Times of Deborah Sampson, Continental Soldier.

Why are all my followers reblogging this? Fine, I’ll double blog it.
