Daughters of Liberty

Women of the American Revolution

Often overshadowed by their male counterparts, the Daughters of Liberty played a vital role in the fight for American independence. This month’s presentation explores how Patriot women organized behind the scenes to resist British oppression through boycotts, homemade goods, and community action. From spinning bees and tea substitutes to direct involvement in Revolutionary events, these women proved that political resistance was not limited to the battlefield. Join us to learn how figures like Abigail Adams and countless unnamed women helped shape the course of the American Revolution through determination, resourcefulness, and collective action.

Join us for Part Two of our three-part series “Road to Independence – Sparks That Ignited a Revolution” as MNTx celebrates America 250 with this special speakers series. Presented by historian and Museum of North Texas History Curator, Leanne Ray, Road to Independence is a great way to kickoff a historic summer!
