In this book, Carol Berkin shows us how women played a vital role throughout the conflict. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe women of the Revolution were most active at home, organizing boycotts of British goods, raising funds for the fledgling nation, and managing the family business while struggling to maintain a modicum of normalcy as husbands, brothers and fathers died. Yet Berkin also reveals that it was not just the men who fought on the front lines, as in the story of Margaret Corbin, who was crippled for life when she took her husband's place beside a cannon at Fort Monmouth. This incisive and comprehensive history illuminates a fascinating and unknown side of the struggle for American independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol Berkin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vintage\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400075324","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42709176909961,"sku":"9781400075324","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3f893bf6-fca4-4ba9-90ae-471234099192.jpg?v=1719512067","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/revolutionary-mothers-women-in-the-struggle-for-americas-independence-9781400075324","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
