Product Description
Book Description
This historical reprint, excerpted from The Pioneer Mothers of America, describes those women who, alongside their husbands, experienced the trials and triumphs of the struggle for independence and the challenge of building a new nation. Though they did not confront the hail of bullets or cannon, though they did not participate in conventions or congresses, they were at the heart of every soul-stirring historic event. This is a book about the heart of America.

A whole new perspective on the revolution!, Feb 27 2010

This review is from: Wives of the Signers: The Women Behind the Declaration of Independence (Paperback)
This is a collection of letters & reports on the women behind the founding fathers. It gives a unique & tender perspective on what was going on "at home" while the Declaration of Independence was being written. I get a better understanding of what life was like in that time period, of the sacrifices these families made, of the fortitude it took to grow a nation. Fascinating!

Describes the hardships and struggles experienced by the wives of those who signed the Declaration of Independence. A very enlightening read; something that should be a part of every high school American history class!

Wonderful information on the women behind the men who were our Founding Fathers, May 14 2010
By Just Me "Just Me" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Wives of the Signers: The Women Behind the Declaration of Independence (Paperback)
Just because their names were not on the official documents that organized our country doesn't mean that women did not take a part. I think they have often been overlooked by history, but this book brings to light their sacrifices and challenges in support of our great nation. It is a good example for todays women, that there is honor in standing for what is right and raising strong successful families. Too often todays women need their name displayed in shining lights to prove to themselves that they've done something great. The women behind our Founding Fathers took pride and pleasure in the success of their families and the changes taking place in America because of their silent but profound sacrifices on our behalf. Inspiring!
