Some women fought the battle at home, speaking their minds about the British occupation or gathering supplies for their soldiers. Others fought openly for their cause, secretly joining the military or becoming spies. Get to know these heroic women and their importance to the colonists' victory during the Revolutionary War.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This entry in the new Story of the American Revolution series provides an accessible, if somewhat cursory, overview of women's diverse activities and contributions during the war. Following the introduction, short chapters provide brief sketches of individuals, including writers (playwright Mercy Warren and poet Phillis Wheatley), soldiers (Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man to fight the British), and spies (patriot Lydia Darragh and loyalist Ann Bates). Information is anecdotally related in straightforward prose, and the layouts incorporate facts, sidebars, portraits, art reproductions, and some stock photos. Though specific dates, including biographical ones, are missing at times--as are sources for certain quotes--the slim, colorful volume offers a general introduction to the topic.-- "Booklist"<br>
