Shostakovich’S Fourth And Fifth Symphonies: A Comparative Analysis, Payden Taylor

Tenor of Our Times

While some might contend that Pinckney was not a Republican Mother because she was not active during the post-revolutionary war time, that does not discredit her life from being characterized by the term. Rather, Pinckney was an early example of a Republican mother because of her …
