Revolutionary Prudence Wright

What I would have given to have read this story when I was a little girl! Prudence Wright became a leader during the American Revolution long before women like Prudence were free to take action and to have rights as we do today. Wright led a group of women to follow her lead in stepping away from British goods and using only American goods. She also led them, in an amazing show of bravery, to capture a spy. What a heroic story!

This little known story from the Revolutionary War is an amazing masterpiece! The illustrations and the layout are perfect!!

Prudence Wright put her foot down, saying NO to the British - refusing stay silent, and organizing the women of her town to stand against the British - some only having farm implements, such as pitch forks, to use as a weapon. These women stood firm in MA, and Prudence Wright cemented a small corner in the annals of history. Sadly, these are stories that we do not hear often, and these should be shared! I will definitely be talking to her in my American history course this spring!

Grab this book, your children will love it!
