Daughters of Liberty

The Daughters of Liberty were influential in American history, impacting politics and supporting boycotts against British goods. They organized domestic efforts like spinning bees to replace British cloth with homespun fabric. Their social influence extended to advocating for women's equality, with figures like Abigail Adams urging the Continental Congress to consider women's rights. During the Revolutionary War, they supported the Patriot cause by raising funds, making supplies, and even fighting, as exemplified by Deborah Sampson. These actions helped redefine women's roles in America.
