About this book:
Discover the hidden heroines who shaped America’s birth—spies, scouts, seamstresses, soldiers, and strategists whose courage turned the tide of revolution. *The Forgotten Women of the American Revolution* pulls back the curtain on the daring deeds of the Daughters of Liberty, the intelligence networks run by women, the farms and businesses they kept running while men marched to war, and the countless unsung acts that kept the fledgling nation alive.
Through vivid storytelling and meticulous research, this book brings to life the voices of enslaved and Indigenous women, Loyalist dissenters, wartime healers, and prolific pamphleteers who wielded pens as powerfully as muskets. Each chapter reveals how everyday choices—brewing liberty tea, spinning homespun cloth, tending the wounded, raising patriotic children—became powerful acts of resistance and nation‑building.
Reclaim the full story of America’s founding and see how these women’s resilience, ingenuity, and sacrifice continue to echo in our pursuit of a more perfect union. Perfect for history lovers, educators, and anyone inspired by untold tales of bravery, this book will forever change the way you view the Revolution.
