This is a fantastic image of the brass pins the women used to use to pin their dresses together. It was pins like these that the women had to boycott when the tax acts were put into place.
- Barker, Penelope Pagett. "The British Will Know Who We Are." In the Words of Women, edited by Janet M. Wedge, Oct. 1774, inthewordsofwomen.com/?cat=88. Accessed 24 Oct. 2018. The letter contains information written by Penelope Pagett Barker about the Ladies of Edenton and their boycott. It describes how she feels and that they will no longer hide behind their husbands. They decide they will be known by signing the Edenton Tea Party Agreement. This will be used in the student packets to demonstrate their solidarity in standing by the boycotts.
- Barnes, Christian Arbuthnot. Letter to Elizabeth Murray Campbell Smith. 6 July 1770. There are two letters on this document from Christian Barnes to Elizabeth Murray Campbell Smith 6 months apart that contains insight as to the actions of the Patriots from a Loyalist perspective. It is important to show that both sides were affected by the boycotts and the actions of those who were passionate about their cause. The students will receive this in their packet of documents to analyze.
- Bates, Ann. Letter. 1778. Clements Library, clements.umich.edu/exhibits/online/spies/stories-women-2.html. Accessed 17 Dec. 2018. The Clements Library has a wonderful collection of letters from spies on the Loyalist side. Ann Bates wrote a letter describing the amounts of weaponry and troops. She had disguised herself as a peddler and moved freely among the troops.
- Blair, Anne. Letter to Martha Blair Braxton. Aug. 1769. In the Words of Women, inthewordsofwomen.com/?cat=446. Accessed 20 Nov. 2018.

- Clarke, Charity. "We Will Found a New Arcadia." Received by Joseph Jekyll, 16 June 1768. Letter. In this letter, Charity Clarke, a daughter of a British officer, expresses her support of the Americans. She talks of her love of her country and the land within, as well as the ideals of the boycotts. It is interesting to note that her letters stop after she ends up marrying a Tory. This document will be used to show another method of boycotting with the spinning wheels and the passion she feels towards supporting the boycott and what she called "the reach of arbitrary power". This will be one of the documents in the packet provided for the students.
- Dann, John C., editor. The Revolution Remembered: Eyewitness Accounts of the War for Independence. National Humanities Center, 2013, americainclass.org/sources/makingrevolution/war/text6/pensionnarratives.pdf. Accessed 6 Nov. 2018. This source has a section about Sarah Osborn.

- "Edenton, North Carolina October 25, 1774." The Virginia Gazette [Williamsburg, VA], 3 Nov. 1774, Postscript sec. Colonial Williamsburg, research.history.org/DigitalLibrary/va-gazettes/VGSinglePage.cfm?issueIDNo=74.PD.56. Accessed 15 Dec. 2018. This issue of the Virginia Gazette has the Edenton Ladies Resolves. I used a clipped section of the newspaper showing the names of the ladies who signed the document. It was later called the Edenton Tea Party. It is a monumental moment in history since it is one of the first times ladies acted politically on their own and drafted an official document and affixed their signatures to it.
- "Eighteen Daughters of Liberty." Boston Gazette [Boston], JPEG ed., 7 Apr. 1766, Supplement sec. The Boston Gazette published an article speaking of eighteen Daughters of Liberty getting together to make "Liberty Cloth" and praising them for their efforts. This will be used to illustrate the pressure that the women felt to produce goods to replace those made by Great Britain.
- "Give Volunteer Service Where You Live Today." Just Serve, edited by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Intellectual Reserve, 2018, www.justserve.org/. Accessed 31 Oct. 2018. Just Serve was brought to my attention at a civic education workshop. They provided ways to get students civically involved and stressed the importance of raising generations of children that are more aware of the needs in their communities. This is partially why the idea came to me for helping students to bring their knowledge of the sacrifices of the women in the Revolution to our modern world and how each of them can do their part. It is uniquely designed in that you can choose your location, and it will list volunteer needs in the community from 5 miles away up to 75 miles away. When I tried my own address, it came up with 77 service opportunities within 15 miles of my home. Students will use this as a culminating activity where they will apply to their own lives the sacrifices that can be made in the service of others.
- Graeme, Elizabeth. "A Woman's Glory Is to Shine Unknown." In the Words of Women, edited by Janet M. Wedge, 31 May 1765, inthewordsofwomen.com/?cat=528. Accessed 24 Oct. 2018. In this letter, Elizabeth gives insight to the place of women in colonial society. They were to do the work quietly and efficiently and not be heard and as a feme covert. This document will be a part of the documents used for the student packets. It will give the context of how a woman was expected to act during that time period.

Jane Goodall is listed as one of the most influential women in our modern world. She is an inspiration to all in our modern world. I will be using more pictures of the influential women to help tie this all back to our service project.
- Griffitts, Hannah. "The Female Patriots." Received by Daughters of Liberty in America, 1768. Letter. The poem by Hannah is interesting in that it covers a lot of ground in prose. She prods the women into action and goads the men to do the same in boycotting English goods. She gives alternatives to the imported items and states rather boldly that they will do their part for freedom. I believe this is one of the strongest documents for illustrating the extent of boycotts and how important it was to the ladies as well as how much they had to work for it to succeed. This will be in the document packet provided for the students to analyze during the unit.
- Guthridge, Molly. "A New Touch on the Times Well adapted to the distressing Situation of every Sea-port Town by a Daughter of Liberty, living in Marblehead." 1779. Letter. This poem is quite distressing. It illustrates the desperation the women felt. For example, she even states that they couldn't even get salt, firewood bread or even meat. I love the last line of the poem where she states "The world is now turn'd up-side down." I would imagine that it felt that way for sure. This is a great poem to add to the documents packet so the students can see the daily stress they dealt with.
- Hoit, Albert Gallatin. Lucy Flucker Knox Thatcher. C. 1834. Knox Museum, knoxmuseum.org/portfolio-posts/portrait-of-lucy-flucker-knox-thatcher-ca-1834/. Accessed 17 Dec. 2018.

Accessed 15 Dec. 2018. In this article in the Boston Gazette, the Sons of Liberty list merchants who are still importing English goods against the non-importation agreements. Among those listed are Ame and Elizabeth Cummings - two women who are store owners in Boston. Ironically, they did well because the article earned them the business of Loyalists who supported her.

Accessed 17 Nov. 2018. The only reason I used this website was for the image of the house that Martha Washington stayed in when she was at Valley Forge.
- Mather, Cotton. "Ornaments for the Daughters of Zion." 1692, Boston. Address. This sermon was one that really points out how people use Biblical stories in ways that best suit their needs. He uses Rebakah, Rachel, and Deborah as examples of exemplary women who loved their husbands and submits to his will but does not point out that they both had sides that were not so admirable for the time period. This document will be used towards the beginning of the unit to portray the roles that women were expected to play as feme covert as part of their primary source packet.
- McIlvaine, Rob. "Horoho Takes Oath as First Nurse, Female Surgeon General." U.S. Army, 8 Dec. 2011, www.army.mil/article/70556/horoho_takes_oath_as_first_nurse_female_surgeon_general.

This New York Gazette Article compares the actions of the King passing the Stamp Act with those of King Ahasuerus against the Jews. They are obviously upset about the Stamp Act being passed and are calling it an odious act against liberty.
- New-York Weekly Journal [New York]. 19 May 1735. This article printed in the New York Weekly Journal edited and produced by John Zenger was an intriguing feminist declaration of a woman's right to education. The article states interesting views such as women having the natural gift of speech and they have a sedentary lifestyle and therefore have more time to be educated.
- "No Stamp Act Teapot." Smithsonian Institution, edited by Smithsonian Institution, BlackBaud, 2018, www.si.edu/object/nmah_1320066. Accessed 3 Dec. 2018.

They sold out of them because they were so popular.
- Ottendorf, Baron. "Deposition of Miss Jenny after Returning from the French Camp." 15 Aug. 1781. Clements Library, clements.umich.edu/exhibits/online/spies/letter-1781aug15-1.html. Letter. This letter is written by Baron Ottendorf about a spy only named as Miss Jenny. It discusses her actions among the Americans.
- Parks, Andrew. Letter to George Washington. 7 Apr. 1796. In the Words of Women, inthewordsofwomen.com/?p=2085. Accessed 20 Nov. 2018.

This is a beautiful painting of Ester de Berdt Reed. The website organizer received the copy of the painting from the Reed family themselves. I am using this in the Fundraising section when she organized the fundraiser for the soldiers.
- Punderson, Prudence. "The Treasiores of Poverty, Protecks Our Peace." Received by Sally Rositer, 15 Mar. 1779. Letter. I like how this letter by Prudence illustrates that although citizens in all places were being put in peril, they could still have a sense of humor along with a real sense of the human condition during that time. She knew that the soldiers entering her home were there to cause ill will. She and her sister showed valor and quick thinking in order to save themselves and their father. This will be a primary source document within the document packet for the students.
- Reed, Esther. Sentiments of an American Woman. Philadelphia, 1780. If anyone doubts the patriotism and thankfulness of the colonist ladies for the men at war, this document will quite readily clear those thoughts. She invokes, like Cotton Mather, the use of Biblical women as examples. Once again, Deborah is brought up, but this time as someone with zeal and resolution. She also compares themselves to Joan of Arc and goads the men into also helping. Yet, ironically she depicts the women as having feeble hands and being a weaker sex--once again apologizing for speaking up. This is an important document that will be used for analysis by the students.
- Reed, Esther DeBerdt. "The Things for You to Buy for Me." In the Words of Women, edited by Janet M. Wedge, Dec. 1770, inthewordsofwomen.com/?p=1622. Accessed 16 Oct. 2018. I really like this primary source letter because it illustrates the items that are simple, but very much desired by the colonial women. During the boycott periods as well as during the war, it was very difficult to get seemingly minor things as pins - but that are very important. I will be using an excerpt of this letter to illustrate this point in the student packet for analysis.
- Rossiter, Thomas Richard. George Washington and Family. C. 1858-1860. Mount Vernon, www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/thomas-prichard-rossiter/. Accessed 16 Dec. 2018. Mount Vernon has many original paintings of George Washington. I used the image of George Washington and Family for context.

- Shaw, Janet. "Land They Cultivate Better than Their Master." In the Words of Women, edited by Janet M. Wedge, 1774, inthewordsofwomen.com/?p=1713. Accessed 16 Oct. 2018. This is another primary source document describing the substitute items that can be used. It is interesting that this account describes what the slaves used. This will help the students see that there is yet another layer of society that helped with the boycotts--the slaves. They were the ones the women went to for examples of substitutes they could use in place of the items they desired to use. An excerpt of this letter will be used in conjunction with the "The Things for You to Buy for Me" letter for student analysis.
- Smith, Susan J. "Covered Bridge Over the Nashua River." Town of Pepperell, Massachusetts, 19 Mar. 2011, town.pepperell.ma.us/160/Covered-Bridge-Over-the-Nashua-River. Accessed 17 Dec. 2018. This website was created by the town of Pepperell, Massachusetts. This is the town where Prudence Cummings Wright and the town ladies captured to British messengers trying to cross the old covered bridge. They had a great picture of the bridge that exists in their town. I used it to help illustrate the story of Mrs. Wright's Guard.
- Sons of Liberty. "Faneuil Hall Subscription Sheet: Boycott Agreement." 28 Oct. 1767. Harvard Library, iiif.lib.harvard.edu/manifests/view/drs:46431739$1i. Accessed 16 Oct. 2018. These are amazing PDFs of the boycott agreements at Faneuil Hall in 1767. These were recently recovered and are now being held in the Harvard Library. In it, there is an amazing list of items that were agreed upon to boycott. It was a surprising list that even included besides the obvious broad cloth included other times such as gloves, coaches, snuff and mustard. This will be a wonderful example to include in the primary source documents for analysis by the students.
- Totten, Mary. "A Reasonable Allowance in My Favour." 1777. Letter. This letter by Mary Totten is a wonderful, but sad example of how much the war was on their own front porch. She describes the loss of property and income and is asking for reparations. Some of the items damaged or destroyed will be surprising for the students to see and as part of this primary source, they will need to flesh out ideas as to why some of the items were actually damaged. They will be encouraged to see if they can see what the equivalent monetary amount would be in today's dollars.
- Wadsworth, Benjamin. The Well-Ordered Family. PDF ed., Harvard, 1712. This is Benjamin Wadsworth's entire book. The original is at Harvard University. Google has it in open access e-book files. It is revealing to see how society expected women and children to behave--especially in deference to the men in their household.
- ---. "The Well-Ordered Family." 1712, Boston. Address. This excerpt written by the Harvard trained clergyman Benjamin Wadsworth is typical oration of the time period about the place of women in the household. It will be used along with the excerpt of Cotton Mather and Samuel Chase to illustrate the role women were expected to play as a notable housewife in the primary source document packets for student analysis.
- Warren, Mercy Ottis. "Women's Trifling Needs." In the Words of Women, edited by Janet M. Wedge, 27 Apr. 2015, inthewordsofwomen.com/?p=1456. Accessed 16 Oct. 2018. This poem will be used in tandem with the poem written by Hannah Griffitts. Mercy Otis Warren also is supports the British boycotts and criticizes those who won't support it. She lists the many items that are to be boycotted and calls them "flighty stuff".
- Winthrop, Hannah. Letter. 1 Jan. 1774. Massachusetts Historical Society, www.masshist.org/database/viewer.php?item_id=3330&mode=large&img_step=2&noalt=1&br=1#page2. Accessed 16 Oct. 2018.

In this letter, Hannah Winthrop describes the condition of the camp followers who were marching behind the defeated British troops. She actually compares them to "Beasts of Burden". Students will analyze this letter for other descriptions Hannah uses.
- Winthrop, Hannah Fayerweather. Letter to Mercy Otis Warren. Apr. 1775. This letter by Hannah Winthrop is intriguing because she uses the same language as is found in the Boston Massacre poem engraved by Paul Revere. She also describes the desperation and fear of the women and children during the actions in Lexington. You get a real sense of how much the war affected them in their own homes and communities. This will be used in tandem with the letter written by Hannah when she spoke of the Boston Tea Party. They will compare and contrast the different time periods along with what had just occurred that she will be describing.
- Wollstonecraft, Mary. A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Mineola (N.Y.), Dover publications, 1996. This book was written by Mary Wollstonecraft who was a woman before her time. She was a feminist who worked independently from a young age and traveled in circles with the likes of Thomas Paine and William Blake. It is basically a manifesto of women's rights. She was highly influential for her time. I have used for my own understanding of the roles of women during the colonial era which will influence the outcome of my instructional presentation.
- "Women Soldiers: An International Perspective." National Army Museum, www.nam.ac.uk/whats-on/women-soldiers-international-perspective. This website is by the British military. They had a picture of women in their military uniforms as well as holding onto some rifles. The military is a great way to show service in our modern world.

This is a series of lectures given for the Gilder Lehrman class, Women in the American Revolution class in the Fall of 2018. She is an amazing lecturer and scholar who gives intriguing information throughout the lecture.
- ---. Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America's Independence. New York, Vintage Books, 2006. Dr. Berkin's amazing book opened my eyes as to the major importance of the women to the colonial cause as well as the tragic circumstances women from both sides had to endure. It talks of their bravery and fortitude as well as some of the more unfortunate circumstances they were in before and during the Revolutionary War. There are many quotes throughout the book that will be utilized to draw attention to each stage of their involvement. I will mostly use this for the presentation and to provide background knowledge.
- Berkin, Carol Ruth, and Mary Beth Norton. Women of America. Hoston, Houghton Mifflin, 1979. The chapter called "The Myth of the Golden Age" will be the main substance used in this source. It is helpful to give context to the struggle of the women by discussing basic household patterns as well as what they did outside of the home. They held a vitally important role in the function of the household not only as a wife and mother but also in the economics of the house. Norton and Berkin also point out the roles of African American women and even discusses divorce and education which are also very important for contextual understanding. I will also refer to the last section called "Not Separate, Not Equal" and the documents used there for a more modern view of women. This will be used mostly for the instructional lessons.
