Women of the American Revolution Volume 1

Women of the American Revolution Volume 1

by Elizabeth F. Ellet

Women of the American Revolution is a collection of biographical sketches of women who played a role in the American Revolution. The book highlights the contributions of women from all walks of life, including those who fought on the front lines, those who provided support to the troops, and those who worked to keep the home fires burning. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on women who lived in the northern colonies and the second volume focusing on women who lived in the southern colonies. Each volume contains a mix of well-known and lesser-known figures, and each sketch provides a glimpse into the life and times of a woman who helped to shape the course of American history.
