On August 14^th, Virago Spirits and the VMHC will highlight Clementina Rind from the VMHC “Give Me Liberty” exhibition – the first major exhibition in the US to commemorate America’s 250^th anniversary. Rind took over her husband’s printing office upon his death, and in 1766 became Virginia’s first female printer and newspaper publisher. She printed Thomas Jefferson’s A Summary View of the Rights of British America and published the widely-read Virginia Gazette.
