In the histories of the American Revolution, much has been written about America's founding fathers, those brave men who signed the Delcaration of Independence, battled the British, and framed the Constitution. Yet the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters who supported, encouraged, and even advised them have been ignored. In Founding Mothers, author Cokie Roberts brings to light the stories of the women who fought the Revolution as valiantly as men, sometimes even defending their very doorsteps from British occupation.
