Alexander Hamilton was not just a powerful Founding Father, he was also a loving husband and father, a flirtatious brother-in-law, and an incorrigible lady-killer. In this new living-history portrayal, meet the Schuyler sisters who captivated Hamilton:

* His wife, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton,
* Her sister, the charming, witty Angelica Schuyler Church,
* Her other sister, high-spirited Peggy Schuyler van Rensselaer

Actress and scholar Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., brings these smart, beautiful women to life as they discuss their complicated relationships with Hamilton and the other men in their lives. You don’t need to have seen the smash hit musical Hamilton to enjoy this, but if you have, it’ll bring the history behind the show alive!
