Heroines Told by Clayton Edwards
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
In this episode we’ll explore Clayton Edwards’ recounting of two remarkably courageous women, Molly Pitcher and Edith Cavell, from his 1920 book A Treasury of Heroes and Heroines.
Both of these stories sit at the intersection of fact and folklore. Their stories teach us how history is preserved. Molly Pitcher is likely a "composite" of several real women (like Margaret Corbin and Mary Ludwig Hays), showing how oral tradition blends multiple truths into one legend. In contrast, Edith Cavell’s story is strictly documented, yet it was still "polished" by wartime press to fit a specific heroic narrative.
