How very inspiring to read your stories of women who defied the odds and made a difference. I would like to nominate one more for your pantheon: Margaret Cochran Corbin, the first woman combatant to take a bullet for revolutionary America. She was a real (s)hero at the Battle of Fort Washington in NYC. Here's her story:
"More than equal: unlikely (s)heroes of the Revolutionary War"
Women’s bravery in battle has been lost to history and sexism
What inspiration! We are only the most recent among generations of women whose valor, courage and talent in fighting for democracy deserve recognition. Thank you for bringing their heroism to us in this moment, when we all need to summon our strengths-and talents-to The Cause!
Thank you.. I love reading stories about brave women.
My pleasure! I’m so glad you found them meaningful!
