Fun stuff - and interesting because it's a side of things you rarely hear about. I just finished watching a documentary on the women of the Culper Ring. I think the History Channel also did something similar, but in that one the part concerning women was interwoven with the whole war story, and was sort of a sidenote. Not given much interest by the author of the documentary who was, undoubtedly, a man.

Here's another good site: http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2009/01/women-spies-of-revolution.html

And this one, too: http://colonialancestors.com/revolutionary/women.htm

This topic is actually more fascinating than it is interesting. Women really weren't just for cooking, cleaning and having babies.

See, we're good for LOTS more than just cooking and cleaning!
