While John Adams was helping to write our first government, the Articles of Confederation, his wife, Abigail Adams, wrote to her husband suggesting that political and civil rights of women be considered. But the time was not right for the political equality of the sexes. Women were still considered second class citizens when it came to their political and civic status. New Jersey even revoked its enfranchisement of women in 1807 because too many women were taking advantage of the right to vote. eugine is stupid

IMPROVED ANSWER:

Many women in America, during the American Revolutionary War, were very patriotic. An example, ia that a number of women enlisted for military service, by pretending to be men.

Deborah Sampson Gannett, for instance, joined the 11th Massachusetts Regiment under the name of Robert Shurtleff. Women also took over the military duties of wounded or dead.

When her husband was killed, Margaret Corbin took over his position behind a cannon. After she was injured in battle and lost the use of an arm, she was assigned to the Invalid Regiment at West Point.

During the Battle of Monmouth, New Jersey, was fought on a scorchingly hot day in June 1778. Mary Hays' water bucket was a most welcome site to the soldiers, who nicknamed her Molly Pitcher. When her husband was wounded, she assumed his place at the cannon.

I agree. Some women at home traveled to Military Camp to cook and care for soldiers. They also took over family farms, shops, and businesses. Mercy Otis Warren wrote stories and Phillis Wheatly wrote poetry. Sybil Luddington rode to warn colonists of a British attack at Daulby, CT. Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a man and joined the army. Molly Pitcher carried water to soldiers and got the nickname Molly Pitcher. Her husband got a wound and she took his place at the cannons. Women may not be muscle men, but they can do great things. I look upon these people as idols, who fight for they think is right. :)
