Best Answer

She entered the army dressed as a man and called herself Robert Shurtliff. She fought in several battles in the American Revolution. When she was wounded carrying another soldier for medical attention, it was discovered she was a woman. She was forced out of the army. When she asked for a pension after the war was over, she was denied because she was a woman. Paul Revere helped her get a pension which took a special act of Congress.
