Did you know only one woman’s name appears on an official copy of the Declaration of Independence? That distinction belongs to Mary Katharine Goddard. In 1777, as British troops threatened Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress relocated to Baltimore—and entrusted Goddard, a fearless 38-year-old printer, publisher of the Maryland Journal, and devoted patriot, to publish the Declaration for the people.
