I was impressed by the amount of American women's history I never learned in any of my courses in college & grad school, even when taking Women's History courses. This book has encouraged me to seek out other books about the role of women during the Revolutionary War period. I found the history provided in the book to be very compelling.

I wanted to keep reading just to learn more about the role of Angelica Schuyler & her sisters during this era in the beginning days of America. I will say it was pretty dense in some areas, with many historical individuals & events popping in & out of the book, & trying to keep them in order, sometimes having to go back & review who they were. I would have found it easier if some sort of directory of people & a timeline were included. I have already recommended this book to several of my friends & look forward to discussing Angelica with them.
