Independent Dames: What You Never Knew About the Women and Girls of the American Revolution

40 pp. | Simon | June, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-689-85808-6 $16.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Matt Faulkner. Anderson's saucy text challenges conventionally taught American Revolutionary history. Readers will be hooked by her thoroughly infectious humor as they learn about the girls and women who organized boycotts, spied on Redcoats, and disguised themselves as male soldiers. Faulkner's detailed ink and watercolor art shows women crashing the scene, while brief paragraphs explain their heroic feats. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
