Uncovering the forgotten lineage of the Statue of Liberty, Bob
Hieronimus and Laura Cortner explain how she is based on a female
symbol representing America on the earliest maps of the continent
in the form of a Native American "Queen." The image of a woman
symbolizing independence was embraced by the American
revolutionaries to rally the populace against the King, filling the
role of "Founding Mother" and protector of the fledgling republic.
Incorporating Libertas, the Roman goddess of freed slaves, with
Minerva, Demeter, Justice, and the Indian Princess, Lady Liberty is
seen all over the nation's capital, and on the seals and flags of
many states.
