The Diary of Theodosia Ford: Photographs by Xiomaro on view at Women`s Rights National Historical Park
(Artdaily.org)

Ask the average person to name an important woman of the American Revolution and they might think of Betsy Ross, believed to have made the first American flag for George Washington. A fine art photographic exhibit at Women’s Rights National Historical Park seeks to introduce a new name into the public consciousness: Theodosia Ford. The park celebrates Independence Day with the debut solo exhibition The Diary of Theodosia Ford - Photographs by Xiomaro, on view until August 31. The images, together with an imagined diary based on factual accounts, tell the dramatic story of a young widow’s unsung role in the colonial fight for freedom. Theodosia and her four children crammed into two rooms from 1779-80 – during one of the worst winters of the century – and gave up control of her New Jersey home to George Washington and his entourage
