Apparently Betsy Ross didn't really do enough to be remembered as a great woman. But the others mentioned include some women who worked as spies on both sides. Abigail Adams always the trail blazer gets her own section. Short but informative.

Great read about some of the women who helped fight the American Revolutionary War.

I used this as a supplement to our unit on American Revolution War. Daughter loved this book. It is great to hear about women who served our country.
