Historical Society of Pennsylvania Collection

During the Revolutionary War, the American militia consisted mainly of able-bodied American males who received only basic training. Women played a significant part in maintaining farms and businesses while men were away at war.

Some women even participated in the Revolutionary war effort, and were referred to as “Molly Pitcher.”

Pictured on the left, Molly Pitcher was not a single historical figure, but a composite folk hero inspired by the actions of many different people -- most of them women who carried water to troops, cooked, sewed, and even fought for the Patriot cause.

With help from an alliance with France, the Americans were able to win their independence from Great Britain. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 was negotiated with England by Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay.
