This little known story from the Revolutionary War is an amazing masterpiece! The illustrations and the layout are perfect!!
Prudence Wright put her foot down, saying NO to the British - refusing stay silent, and organizing the women of her town to stand against the British - some only having farm implements, such as pitch forks, to use as a weapon. These women stood firm in MA, and Prudence Wright cemented a small corner in the annals of history. Sadly, these are stories that we do not hear often, and these should be shared! I will definitely be talking to her in my American history course this spring!
Grab this book, your children will love it!
I received an advanced e-copy for my unbiased review from NetGalley and Astra Publishing House
What I would have given to have read this story when I was a little girl! Prudence Wright became a leader during the American Revolution long before women like Prudence were free to take action and to have rights as we do today. Wright led a group of women to follow her lead in stepping away from British goods and using only American goods. She also led them, in an amazing show of bravery, to capture a spy. What a heroic story!
