Women Heroes of the American Revolution
Author: Eric Metzgar Who were the women heroes of the American Revolution? You probably know about the men — famous men like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. But you may not know the women heroes of the Revolutionary War. Here are just a few of them: Mercy Otis Warren wrote plays that got the colonists angry at the British. Deborah Sampson dressed up as a man and fought in the army for three years. Lydia Darrah spied on British officers staying in her home. Martha Bratton blew up a supply of gunpowder so enemy soldiers couldn’t use it. In this book, you’ll meet these brave women and four other American heroes.
