"Originally penned in 1912, this historical reprint showcases individual portraits of the fiercely courageous women who endured tremendous hardship as their husbands fought to build an independent nation. Women such as Abigail Adams, Dorothy Quincy Hancock, and Julia Stockton Rush contributed their wisdom, strength, and loyalty to the cause of the Revolution, shaping history as a result." Amazon books
This one is for those who are seriously involved in historical facts. The reader will find birth, marriage, death, children, husband and his life detailed for most women. For most women, little about them as individuals will be found, other than physical descriptions or comments about their role as wives and mothers. I liked the records about Abigail Smith Adams, wife of John Adams; Elizabeth Checkley Adams, wife of Samuel Adams; and Sara Franklin Bache, daughter of Benjamin Franklin, among the more interesting.
