In colonial America, hard work proved a constant for most women--some ensured their family's survival through their skills, while others sold their labor or lived in bondage as indentured servants or slaves.

Women Heroes of the American Revolution: 20 Stories of Espionage, Sabotage, Defiance, and Rescue
ISBN: 9781613745830 / Angielski / Twarda / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 27 dni roboczych. When you think of the American Revolution, perhaps you envision the Boston Tea Party, Paul Revere's infamous ride, or George Washington crossing the Delaware River. But there are many other, lesser-known stories of the war that engulfed women's lives as it did the lives of their fathers, husbands, and sons. Some women served as spies, nurses, and water carriers; some helped as fundraisers, writers, and couriers; and still others functioned as resistors, rescuers, and--surprisingly--even soldiers. Most often, their names did not make it into history books. In Women Heroes of the...
