Men were certainly not the only ones affected by—or involved in—the American Revolution. Women boycotted British goods, produced home-spun cloth and supplies for soldiers, and some even took to the battlefield. This presentation will look at women’s role in the fight for American Independence and how to research your female ancestors during this period.
Come explore the past and bring your ancestors’ Revolutionary War experiences into clearer focus!
Note: All registrants will receive a recording of the event after its completion. This event will take place online and in person at American Ancestors' headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts. For information on visiting American Ancestors, click here.
