Description
The American Revolution was a home-front war that brought scarcity, bloodshed, and danger into the life of every American. In this book, Carol Berkin vividly recounts the struggles of Colonial women who fought for independence-for their nation and, sometimes, for themselves. Berkin's lively book reclaims a vital part of our political legacy, revealing the often-overlooked contributions of women to the conflict. From organizing boycotts of British goods to managing family businesses while husbands and brothers were away fighting, these women played a crucial role in the struggle for American independence. This incisive and comprehensive history illuminates a fascinating and unknown side of the struggle for American independence, shedding new light on the experiences of women during this pivotal period in American history.
