what women played a key part in the revolutionary war besides martha washington?
Well, Temperance Wyck warned New Jersey militiamen of a British advance, just like Paul Revere, only she completed her ride of approximately forty miles.
Lydia Darragh, a Philadelphia Quaker matron, got word to the Continental troops at Valley Forge concerning a planned assault by the British.
Molly Pitcher (real name was either Mary Hayes or Margaret Corbin) manned (or womaned?) a cannon at the Battle of Monmouth, which took place in weather that was hot and humid, with a heat index easily reaching in excess of 100 degrees. Her husband had collapsed from the heat, and she took over his post.
There were literally thousands of unnamed camp followers who did the cooking, the laundry, and performed nursing duties. Although the term has degenerated to a designation for prostitute, the majority of these women were following husbands or fathers, and raising their children as best they could under the conditions. No one will ever know how many of these women and children lie in unmarked graves at such places as Valley Forge and other winter encampments.
I'd recommend the books Revolutionary Mothers and Glory, Passion, and Principle for stories of these and other women.
