CHAPTER 1
Everyday Heroines
Life was difficult in Great Britain’s American colonies. Women, men, and children worked hard every day just to get by. Women worked sun up to sun down caring for gardens, animals, homes, and their families.
These women didn’t look like rebels in their long dresses and frilly bonnets. Even on farms women wore fancy underskirts called petticoats. But when the British Parliament started passing unfair laws, colonial women had an important choice to make.
