The American Revolution was a home-front war that brought scarcity; bloodshed; and danger into the life of every American. In this groundbreaking history; Carol Berkin shows us how women played a vital role throughout the conflict.The women of the Revolution were most active at home; organizing boycotts of British goods; raising funds for the fledgling nation; and managing the family business while struggling to maintain a modicum of normalcy as husbands; brothers and fathers died. Yet Berkin also reveals that it was not just the men who fought on the front lines; as in the story of Margaret Corbin; who was crippled for life when she took her husband’s place beside a cannon at Fort Monmouth. This incisive and comprehensive history illuminates a fascinating and unknown side of the struggle for American independence.
