Independent Dames
Independent Dames: What You Never Knew About the Women and Girls of the American Revolution (with audio recording) | Laurie Halse Anderson
3 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
Read about the forgotten half of the American Revolution and those tough, independent dames who helped make it happen. Listen up! You've all heard about the great men who led and fought during the American Revolution; but did you know that the guys only make up part of the story? What about the women? The girls? The dames? Didn't they play a part? Of course they did, and with page after page of superbly researched information and thoughtfully detailed illustrations, acclaimed novelist and picture-book author Laurie Halse Anderson and charismatic illustrator Matt Faulkner prove the case in this entertaining, informative, and long overdue homage to those independent dames!

Saw this at the school library today and checked it out immediately! It is awesome! This book has great illustrations, a timeline is at the bottom of every page and it is a really cool yet informative look at the many different actions of women during the Revolutionary War! So many different women were mentioned in this book. Great choice for #raisingreaders!

hyacinth Wow and a clever title too! 😍 8y
