Publisher's Description of Founding Mothers of the United States (True Book: Women's History)
These smart, brave women were ambassadors, fostering peace between
Native Americans and Europeans. They risked their lives by writing,
printing, and distributing information about the fight for independence.
They supported their husbands during battle and even donned disguises
to join the army. They were all key in shaping the America of today.
This book tells their story.
Women are sometimes
called the silent protagonists of history. But since before the founding
of our nation until now, women have organized, marched, and inspired.
They forced change and created opportunity.
This
series of books looks at some unsung heroes of history – women. Women are
strong and have been a pillar to the building of our country. Learn about
different women in history, their story, and how their strength and courage
contributed to what we have today. In addition to the topic covered, each book
gives true statistics, resources for further reading, and a glossary of terms
used. 48 pgs, pb. ~Amber
