Women in the American Revolution
This article is about the role played by women in the American Revolution.
== The American Revolution Background ==
The American Revolution took place after Britain put in place the seven Coercive, or Intolerable Acts, in the colonies. This included closing the port of Boston. They extended the boundary of Quebec to the Ohio River, limiting self-government in the Mississippi River, ordering colonists to provide housing for more troops, and allowing British officials to be tried for crimes in England instead of the colonies.〔"United States History."

〕 The Americans responded by forming the Continental Congress and fighting with the French armies. However, the war would not have been able to progress as it did without the widespread ideological, as well as material support, of both male and female inhabitants of the colonies. While formal politics did not include women; ordinary domestic behaviors became charged with political significance as women confronted the Revolution. Halting previously everyday activities, such as drinking British tea or ordering clothes from Britain, demonstrated Colonial opposition during the years leading up to and during the war.
Although the war raised the question of whether or not a woman could be a Patriot, women across separate colonies demonstrated that they could. Support was best expressed through traditional female occupations: such as in the home, the domestic economy, and their husband’s or father’s businesses. Women participated by boycotting British goods, producing goods for soldiers, spying on the British, and serving in the armed forces disguised as men.
