| − | + | I admire women during the American Revolution because they took this opportunity to try to change things for themselves. I think their experiences made them stronger and gave them a stronger sense of who they were outside of the home. They were not afraid to speak out. They knew the purpose of this war and supported their families - even if that meant throwing themselves into harm's way. Esther Deberdt Reed did not want women to go unnoticed for their bravery in this war. She doesn's take away the bravery of men but men were the ones who were looked at as "the hero." She said it beautifully when she wrote, "we should at least equal, and sometimes surpass them in our love for the public good." -Marsha Himes | |
