Women in the Revolution

Today I want to tell you about some very important women that I have been learning about. Emily geiger was my favorite person to learn about , she was a very determined person. Some of them called her General Greene how official. She was a very determined women which is a great trait to have in battle. My favorite thing about her is the fact that she hid little messages or sayings in her clothes.    Now i’m gonna tell you a little about Captain Molly she was at Fort Tryon . She had  a very sad childhood her mom was kidnapped and her dad was shot. I can’t imagine the pain she went thru.Something i’ve learned about all of these women is that they are all very determined in their mission or in there life.    Captain Mollys saying i guess you could say was Do what you want to be. Which I think means follow what you aspire to be.   Now another very super important person was Debora Samson she did a lot from what I know. The main thing I know of  is she disguised herself as a man if you know pocahontas from Disney it kinda reminds me of her/he , and she disguised herself to get into war cause at this time women were not what they are now so the men thought. She ended up with a lot of surgerys which in the process she met a french surgeon little[ fun fact for ya] . Before that she was a tutor [a person who teaches someone a subject there not good at] to 10 boys! That’s all the women I have learned about I really hope this helps you learn something new.
