The Myth of the Founding Fathers
In episode 47 of the United SHE Stands podcast, we discuss our Founding Fathers. This episode is based on a chapter in the book “The Myths That Made America” by Heike Paul, a professor of American studies in Germany. Heike's chapter about American Independence and what Heike calls the myth of the Founding Fathers, dives into one of America's origin stories, and how it still shapes our perspective and culture today.
