The Ladies of the Revolution
These women helped shape the American Revolution in many important ways. Some gave advice and spoke up for women’s rights. Others created symbols like the first American flag. Some wrote plays and poems that inspired people to fight for freedom. One was the wife of the first president and helped support soldiers during the war. Another was a brave poet who overcame great challenges. And one helped set the example for future First Ladies. Together, they played key roles in building the nation.
