Description

In 1638 a British Catholic named Margaret Brent fled religious persecution and landed in St. Mary’s City. The Maryland Colony had been the first place in history to be legally founded on religious freedom. Maryland had been started by her cousin Anne Arundel’s husband, Cecil Calvert, Lord Baltimore. Margaret Brent would lead a remarkable life helping the fledgling colony and the local natives. Along the way she would also become the first woman to own land in America, its first female lawyer, and the first woman in America to demand the right to vote!
