The American Revolution was a war between the 13 colonies and Great Britain. The colonies, trying to gain their freedom, revolted against their mother country, which resulted in a war. The war lasted from 1765 to 1783 and as a result, the colonies gained independence from Great Britain and became the United States of America. While white, male Americans participated in the American Revolution, women, African Americans, and foreigners were also involved. While women, African Americans, and foreigners participated in the American Revolution, their contributions and motivations varied.

“Women were not passive observers, but rather partners with their husbands, brothers, fathers and sons.” Carol Berkin stated the gender roles portrayed throughout the revolutionary war were overly romanticized and usually watered down. While in reality women shared the same roles as the adult males. Revolutionary mothers focus on the roles women played throughout the war. Whether it was different social divisions or different ethnicities, each woman portrayed a real role throughout the war.

Women serving in the military is a topic that most people have very strong convictions on. Rather you are for or against women serving, you can find strong opinions that support both sides in this contentious dispute. Women have struggled to fit into the military life for years. Even though woman have fought alongside men in each key battle from the start of the American Revolution, they still find it hard to shake the stereo types about woman who serve. Woman have always had to cloak themselves in a masquerade of sorts to serve alongside men. When woman were finally accepted into the military, they were given secondary roles to the men. The Pentagon has just recently began to realize that gender really do not matter on the battlefield. Since the Pentagons enlightenment, one can now see progress in the integration of women in all expanding military careers. Women have always proven that they are not only an asset to the military but they are the strength of the America’s military.

The role of women in American history has evolved a great deal over the past few centuries. In less than a hundred years, the role of women has moved from housewife to highly paid corporate executive to political leader. As events in history have shaped the present world, one can find hidden in such moments, pivotal points that catapult destiny into an unforeseen direction. This paper will examine one such pivotal moment, fashioned from the fictitious character known as ‘Rosie the Riveter’ who represented the powerful working class women during World War II and how her personification has helped shape the future lives of women.

Even though Rosie the Riveter is an image frequently synonymous with the contemporary women’s movement, she was not designed to promote social change or improve the role of women in the workplace during World War II. In reality, she was promoted as the ideal female worker and was patriotic, confident, capable, and beautiful in a large propaganda campaign by the United States government. Since the war caused many men to answer the call to serve in the military, both at home and abroad, the United States was faced with the urgent challenge of recruiting women into the workforce. Rosie the Riveter was their solution to this problem.

Mary Ludwig was a great heroine in the American Revolution, although you probably have never heard of her. You most likely know her by the name, Molly Pitcher. She was an inspiring woman who brought water to the soldiers, and also helped with cannon duty during the Battle of Monmouth. She earned her nickname by carrying jugs of water to the servicemen during battle. She then took over her husband’s cannon after he collapsed in battle.

The film titled, “The Life and Times of Rosie the Riveter”, looks at the roles of women during and after World War II within the U.S. The film interviews five women who had experienced the World War II effects in the U.S, two who were Caucasian and three who were African American. These five women, who were among the millions of women recruited into skilled male-oriented jobs during World War II, shared insight into how women were treated, viewed and mainly controlled. Along with the interviews are clips from U.S. government propaganda films, news reports from the media, March of Time films, and newspaper stories, all depicting how women are to take "the men’s" places to keep up with industrial production, while reassured that their

Mercy Otis Warren was one of the few women to give public voice to her political sentiments. Mercy was the sister of James Otis, a leader of the Revolution. She wrote several satirical plays and corresponded with many prominent figures in colonial society, including Samuel Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Elbridge Gerry and Alexander Hamilton. She maintained an especially close contact with Jordan and Abigail Adams. She structured her political comments within plays, none of which she preformed on stage because Mercy has specifically written them for publication in the newspapers. Through her plays Mercy revealed her contempt for the Tory Administration in Boston and her passion for Whig ideology. “Mercy believed that a women’s primary focus should be her family, but asserted that it was important for women to be aware of politics in order to better serve their families.” (Volo, 2003) Warren was among the women who chose to publish their views. Women were active ad printers and publishers during the war. Women who feared criticism for meddling too directly in politics published their poems and letters into the newspaper anonymously. In 1772, Warren published anonymously her “biting satire of Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson, The Adulator. First appearing in two installments in the Massachusetts Spy, the play ended with a warning that the people might take up arms.” (Gundersen,1996) She wrote two more plays on political themes by 1774 and pamphlets, all appearing

Although the video, The U.S. – Mexican War (1846-1848), portrays the war between these nations as brutal, savage, and unmerciful, Anne Hyde believed, in her book Empires, Nations, and Families, that the United States and Mexico misinformed of situations lacked the knowledge of local conditions which afflicted the operations of their forces.

I believe that this book would be a wonderful addition to my essay research. The author Linda Kerber is a credible feminist author with another book relating to the roles of women in history. The book tells of the many factors that drove women to being such an important catalyst in the American Revolution. Kerber informs the reader of the many reasons women began jumping into the job market, seeking an education, developing a sense of self-reliance, and breaking so many barriers not yet touched. Kerber brings to light the many emotions women were feeling at this time and why exactly the American Revolution offered so many opportunities for women to progress and partake in what was once a male dominated world. Although all of the content in

According to Harry, "their contradictory positions in relationship to men, their lack of voice and their insufficient character development, can also undermine his women's potential to articulate agency or female empowerment" ( ( Drama Criticism 280). Harry’s argument provides readers with a view that how Wilson expressed about the role of black women in his

Rosie is not different from other normal grandmothers because she decided to run around the world. Although sounds incredible, she was really doing this. Her story began at Wales three years ago. When she was running in Wales, she just had a heavy rucksack in his back. And then she arrived in Europe. With time passing by, she got to Russia. And something happened in this place, A woman gave her a baby jogger which she could push with her heavy bag in it so that she can be more convenient for running. Pushing her baggage, she reached Siberia ,and later came to Alaska where she acquired a sled before her leaving there. With this tool, her running trip became more convenient. After a period of time, she ran to Canada. Finally, she comes to USA
