Summary: 

In “Magnificent MK Goddard” it discusses Mary Katherine Goddard. She was a huge part during the Revolutionary era by printing the Declaration of Independence with the names on it. Goddard printed her name on the document. Before that she was in charge of the Baltimore Postal system which made her the first female worker for the government. Then Congress stopped paying her a little in to the war. Goddard had to start supporting the mail delivery by herself and started to accept other things then money for the mail. A little bit later she started her own bookstore for the rest of her life.

 

Questions: 1. What would you do if Congress let you go?

2. How would you react if you became the first female working in the government?

3. Why do you think that you have heard so little or nothing about Goddard until now?
