Deborah Sampson was a woman who pretended to be a man so that she could fight in the Revolutionary War. She fought for seventeen months before getting wounded, and being honorably discharged from the army. Deborah was unusually tall for a woman at that time, so it was easy for her to disguise herself as a man.
