This collection represents the many different roles and jobs women had during the Revolutionary War. Many women had to step up during this time and take on certain roles that they were not normally used to. This collection is designed to show the importance of women during this time period and the huge role that they played.

The beginning of the collection shows how even though women were not allowed to serve in the military during this time, many still served as secret soldiers. They would cut their hair and disguise themselves as men. The next few images show the more common roles that women had during this period. Most of them were seamstresses, cooks, and maids. While the man of the household was gone due to war, the women had to take care of the children as well as keep up the house and chores. Lastly, women also served as nurses during this war. Although they didn't perform the actual medical procedures, they would mostly do the cleaning, cooking, and bathing of the patients.
