@constitutingamerica: She did not ask if she was allowed to serve her country. She just did. Women did not sit out the American Revolution. They wrote letters that shaped strategy. They kept farms and families running while the men were gone. Some went further. They went into the field. Deborah Sampson went further still. Janine Turner wanted this episode to show what conviction looks like. Not permission. Not protest. Just a woman who decided her country needed her and found a way to show up. You cannot win a war without a little craftiness. Deborah Sampson knew that. The Pursuit is a vertical series written, directed, and starring Janine Turner for Constituting America, featuring the Founding Fathers and Mothers who shaped the nation. Their stories. Their decisions. Their courage. New episodes release weekly through July 4 in honor of America’s 250th anniversary. #ThePursuit #ConstitutingAmerica
