Mary Sarah Bilder on her book 'Female Genius'

A virtual talk by law professor and award-winning author Mary Sarah Bilder on her new book, "Female Genius: Eliza Harriot and George Washington at the Dawn of the Constitution." Her provocative new biography investigates the rise of a radical new idea in the English-speaking world: female genius. Bilder finds the perfect exemplar in English-born Eliza Harriot Barons O’Connor, a pathbreaking female educator who delivered a University of Pennsylvania lecture attended by George Washington as he and other Constitutional Convention delegates gathered in Philadelphia.
