THESIS:
The demands of the American Revolution caused previous traditional 18th century gender roles to be challenged, allowing women to emerge, aid the revolution, and generate social reform. The difficulties of a home front war pushed women to become participants through discreet, active fighting and contributions. This created a reaction: earning women respect, allowing women’s education-post war, and finally their equality in modern day society.
