Another one from the DAR book club list. A good, basic primer on women‘s roles and some of their accomplishments during the Revolutionary War. Patriot women, Loyalist women, African-American women, Native-American women are discussed. Some thumbnail sketches of individuals. The author is an academic and it shows in her writing style and approach. But this is a short book.

@ValerieAndBooks here are some books that I found interesting. I believe there is another Cokie Roberts book but I can‘t find my copies of them. I used most of these to write a research paper for my history minor.
The Diary of Elizabeth Drinker is interesting, she was a Quaker midwife.

OrangeMooseReads This is the other Cokie Roberts book 4y
ValerieAndBooks Thanks for this post. I agree with you on the Cokie Robert books — they‘re good. The tagged title looks intriguing — definitely stacking. I‘ll have to look into the Elizabeth Drinker, as I live near Philly. Wow, lots of titles to stack 😊. Who‘s the author of First Family? Thanks again 💖 4y
OrangeMooseReads @ValerieAndBooks Joseph Ellis is the author of First Family ... you are very welcome 4y
ValerieAndBooks @OrangeMooseReads thanks again! I have some of Ellis‘s books but not that one. 4y
OrangeMooseReads @ValerieAndBooks that book is the one that got me really interested in the role women played in the RW 4y

Hey guys! So I convinced my mom to join Litsy, and now she needs some friends! I have her entirely to thank for my love of reading, so it would be awesome if you could give her a big welcome and show her just how great the Litsy community can be! (Picture is of her baby, who is sure to be featured on her profile shortly 😂) ❤️❤️❤️ #litsywelcomewagon #dogsoflitsy

My beautiful mother in law passed away yesterday evening, I will miss her so much. This was one of the last photographs I took when she was still looking good, it was Sophie's first communion. I will be busy the next few days; her funeral is on Monday. I'll be back next week. 💕
