Best Answer

Deborah Sampson Gannett (1760 - 1827), was an American woman who went disguised as a man in order to serve in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. She served 17 months in the army as "Robert Shurtlieff", was wounded in 1782 and was honorably discharged in 1783. She was later married, had three children, and fought an ultimately successful battle to win her veteran's pension, which was initially denied to her due to her gender.
