Independent Dames: What You Never Knew About the Women and Girls of the American Revolution
Independent Dames: What You Never Knew About the Women and Girls of the American Revolution
Written by: Laurie Halse Anderson
Illustrated by: Mark Faulkner
"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!"
