Women in the Revolutionary War

Description Registration

Lots of women were involved in the Revolutionary War (1776-1783). Betsy Ross is credited with sewing the first US flag. Other women used their skills to assist the armies by sewing clothing, raising money, producing food and making military supplies. Many women had the additional tasks of “deputy husbands”, running a farm, managing finances, making house repairs, chopping wood and hunting. This presentation is about several of those women.
