Tea and Revolution: Women's Role in the War of Independence

This program features a presenter in period clothing made from patriotic wool and linen, bringing to life extraordinary women whose cunning, courage, and creativity helped win the war and shape the country. The presentation covers women who worked as spies and scouts, helped prisoners escape, defended their property, organized fundraising, managed farms and businesses, and coordinated supplies for the Continental Army. These women refused to accept limitations based on their gender and went above and beyond to help America become an independent nation.
