The Revolutionary War brought much disruption to the lives of women in America. Many of these women had to house the "Red-Coats", while others halted their lives to teach the youth of America, and some women even picked up a sword and joined the men in the fight for our country. Many of these women's "baby steps" towards freedom did not do any good, because they were still seen as inferior by the men of America. These women may have helped to change women's standing in society by inspiring women of the suffrage movement, unfortunately all of their efforts were worthless because women did not really obtain any rights until the 1920's during the women's suffrage movement. This essay will show the reader's all of the wonderful things women of the Colonial Era accomplished and how it inspired women who followed them to stand up for what they believed in.
