Women in Revolutionary War...?

Question

I have to write a compostion for school and I was wondering what women did during the American Revolution. When I try to research, I get specific names. I need, in general, what they did. It has to be 25 sentences (IN SPANISH!! I'll worry about that later...) So the more description the better.

This may not be useful at all, but it talks about what women in general did during the American Revolution. It might not be very descriptive though:]

Answer 2

Margaret Corbin was a follower and a leader. How could she be both? Well, many women were followers during the Revolutionary War. They would follow the men around, taking care of cooking and other needs. She stayed by her husband when the British attacked Fort Washington in New York. She took over her husband's job as matross, the person who loaded the cannon, when the gunner was killed. In the heat of battle her husband was also killed. She was hit and left for dead. A passing doctor saved her life. Her wounds left her permanently disabled. For her bravery, "Captain Molly" became part of the Invalid Regiment. She was the first woman to receive a lifetime pension for the wounds she suffered in battle.
