Abigail Adams
While John Adams was away Abigail apart from doing her role as wife had to also do her husband's role (running businesses, growing crops, and even fending off robbers or the enemy). She asked her husband to "push for independency and a new code of laws where she hoped they would remember the ladies and give them freedom". -
Ann Bates
Ann Bates often eavesdropped on her husband who was in the British army. The men never bothered to say anything and talked without worry. -
Elizabeth Burgin
Elizabeth worked for the Patriots as a spy. Her biggest accomplishment was "the prisoner escape". She freed 200 soldiers or prisoners because hundreds died each day suffering from abuse.
