Women were involved in a number of roles during the war. Many performed support functions: they cooked or sewed or did laundry for the troops; one woman got the nickname "Molly Pitcher" because she brought much-needed water to the soldiers. There were also a few women who served as nurses, although this would become much more common during the Civil War. A small number of women even enlisted, although that was forbidden back then; those who did so, like Deborah Sampson, took a man's name and disguised themselves so they could fight against the British. And most women supported the war effort by being a source of stability: they maintained the family home and continued to raise their young children, while sending letters of encouragement to their husbands, brothers, sons, and fathers who were fighting for independence.
