"A wonderful collection of ladies who through seemingly small acts
of quiet heroism helped give birth to a free nation. Their selfless
acts are an example to all men and women that honor and freedom are
worth the price."-Karen Pena, On-site Administrator Knox's
Headquarters State Historic Site
"When it comes to exploring the hidden nooks and forgotten crannies
of the American War of Independence, historians Elizabeth Ellet
(1848) and -- a century and a half later -- Lincoln Diamant make a
dream team. Mr. Diamant artfully combines Mrs. Ellet's biographies
of more than eighty unusual colonial women -- from Abigail Adams to
the anonymous 'John's Wife' -- excising repetition and duplication
spread across the original three volume set. In this new one-volume
edition, Mrs. Ellet's revolutionary women merit their return to
everyone's American Revolutionary bookshelf."-Julie Perin Bird Past
President-General, Colonial Dames of America

enthusiasts, will find Revolutionary Women an enjoyable
