“Book Descriptions:A bold picture book biography about Mary Katherine Goddard, the only woman whose name is printed on the Declaration of Independence, by award-winning author Karen Blumenthal and Jen McCartney, and illustrated by Elizabeth Baddeley.
Who was Mary Katharine Goddard?
Born in 1738, she was homeschooled by her mother in reading and math. She took over her brother’s printing shop a few years later and became an expert in printing newspapers, essays, and posters.
When the American Revolution started, she published important news that helped the fight against the British – even if it meant that if she was caught, she’d be punished for treason. In 1776, Mary was asked to print the Declaration of Independence – she is the only woman whose name is on the Declaration.
That was Mary.
