While the American Revolution is often told through the actions of soldiers and founding fathers, women played vital and often overlooked roles in the fight for independence. From spies and messengers to nurses, fundraisers, and even battlefield participants, women supported the cause in powerful ways. Figures like Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a soldier, and Molly Pitcher, who brought water to troops under fire, showed courage and commitment. Others, like Abigail Adams, pushed for ideas of equality and rights that would echo into the future. This episode explores the diverse and essential contributions of women during the Revolutionary War.
