What Is It? This book set, published by the Daughters of the American Revolution, describes what life was like for women living during the Revolutionary Era. The first volume includes biographies of specific women and describes the different aspects of women’s lives, such as their rights and legal status, politics, and their role in the war effort. The second volume dives into the lives of women in specific regions: New England, the mid-Atlantic, and the South. The third volume contains an extensive bibliography to assist with further research.

How Can It Support My Research? If you have identified a female ancestor who lived during the American Revolution, you will likely find information about her in this set. Otherwise, these volumes do a wonderful job of providing historical context and listing possible resources for further research.
