About this episode

Sharon delves into the fascinating yet often overlooked life of Elizabeth Monroe.

From her early days in a wealthy New York family to her daring act of saving the life of a well-known French aristocrat during the French Revolution, Elizabeth's story is one of quiet strength and resilience.
