As the institution itself explains on its website, Daughters of American Revolution is “an organization with a deeply rich history and at the same time truly relevant in today’s world: more than 1,000,000 women have joined its aims and commitments since it was founded more than 125 years ago.” Its fundamental objective is to vindicate and publicize the participation of their ancestors in the founding of the United States.
This national society was established on October 11, 1890, during a time when there was an insistence on investigating the conquest of independence by the American revolutionaries.
As detailed by the organization, “women felt the desire to express their feelings and were frustrated by their exclusion from the men’s organizations formed to perpetuate the memory of the ancestors who fought during the american revolution”.
