Stories of heroism and privation by men during the American Revolution abound, but in the decades since independence, we have somehow lost the equally courageous stories of the women in those turbulent years. From the Stamp Act to the Declaration of Independence, from the bitter winter at Valley Forge to the surrender at Yorktown--women were profoundly involved. Carol Berkin has begun to tell their stories with her fascinating Revolutionary Mothers. Famous women like Martha Washington are highlighted, but Berkin also focuses on little-known heroines--behind the scenes and on the front lines. This book is indispensable for anyone interested in the full story of the American Revolution.
