Just one woman’s name appears on an official copy of the Declaration of Independence— Mary Katharine Goddard. In the face of British forces threatening to attack Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress reconvened in Baltimore from December 1776 to January 1777. Congressional representatives contacted Goddard, a 38-year-old publisher and patriot who printed the Maryland Journal, requesting that she print the Declaration of Independence. Celebrate the country’s 250th anniversary with us and learn the story of Ms. Goddard and her role in this Revolutionary time.
