They spun, they wrote, they boycotted, they disguised, they spied, they fought.

The American Revolution was not just won on the battlefields by men with muskets. Behind the scenes, a powerful force fueled the flames of rebellion – the Daughters of Liberty. This is their untold story.

  • Abigail Adams, the fiery political mind whose letters challenged the Founding Fathers and laid the groundwork for women's rights.
  • Mercy Otis Warren, the satirical playwright whose words exposed British hypocrisy and inspired a nation to action.
  • Sarah Bradlee Fulton, the community leader who turned spinning bees into acts of economic defiance and shaped the homefront war effort.
  • Deborah Sampson, the woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for her country, proving that courage knows no gender.
  • Agent 355, the enigmatic spy whose intelligence network helped turn the tide of war.
  • Nancy Hart, the frontierswoman who single-handedly captured a band of British soldiers, defying expectations and embodying the spirit of resistance.
  • Nonhelema, the Shawnee leader who navigated the treacherous landscape of colonial politics, advocating for her people's sovereignty amidst the chaos.
  • These are just a few of the remarkable women whose stories have been overlooked or dismissed for far too long. "Daughters of Liberty" brings their contributions to light, revealing the true scope of their influence on the American Revolution and the nation it birthed.
