Founding Mothers: Remembering the Ladies introduces the young reader to women who orchestrated the
American Revolution behind the scenes. These heroic stories highlight patriotic women such as Abigail Adams, Martha Washington, Phillis Wheatley,
Mercy Otis Warren, Sarah Livingston Jay, and others. Details are gleaned from
their letters, private journals, lists, and ledgers. The bravery of these
women’s courageous acts contributed to the founding of America and spurred the
founding fathers to make this a country that “remembered the ladies.”
