The Invisibles: Women in the American Revolution (5-8)

We all know that historical events don't happen. George Washington didn't just spring up on a horse and was ready to fight for freedom.

There will be resources for you to use in the classroom to help the students see the whole picture and how the roles of women helped in the war effort on both the British and the American side.
