Yet we rarely hear of the women who kept the colonies running and liberty alive. \u003ci\u003eObstinate Daughters \u003c\/i\u003efinally rewrites the story of America’s birth by revealing the courageous, resourceful women whose actions shaped a nation. From the battlefields to the printing press, from the plantations to the pulpit, these women fought, spied, published, preached, farmed, organized. From the front lines to the home front, from the colonies to the frontier, these unsung heroines turned the tide.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eObstinate Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, readers will meet women who armed themselves and took matters into their own hands to defend their town. A Cherokee leader who warned patriot settlements of looming attacks, risking the lives of her own people in the process. A British spy at the center of a plot to assassinate George Washington. Enslaved women who risked their lives while fighting a parallel battle for their own freedom, embodying the very ideals the revolution claimed to uphold. The only woman to have her name on the Declaration of Independence. And many more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs she has done so many times before, Kiernan masterfully weaves these individual stories together into a single, compelling narrative and carves a place in history for these impactful females. With journalistic rigor and narrative flair, Kiernan reminds us that the past is always open to challenge, and that every untold story can inspire a new generation.“Denise Kiernan does it again, this time turning her flair for colorful storytelling, her delight in immersive research, and unstinting eye for detail to America's Founding Mothers, Daughters, Wives, Sisters, and General Badass Women. With \u003ci\u003eObstinate Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, Kiernan brings to vibrant life the previously hidden stories of some extraordinary women on all sides of the Revolution, from spies and businesswomen to preachers, poets, and propagandists. It's a fascinating and necessary look at the mythology of America's founding, and Kiernan compellingly makes it clear that the stories of women were no mere subplot in the American origin story, but were actually driving the narrative the entire time.” \u003cb\u003e—Brian Jay Jones, \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of \u003ci\u003eJim Henso\u003c\/i\u003en, \u003ci\u003eBecoming Dr. Seuss\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Capitol\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\"Kiernan’s sizzling intelligence and meticulous research are evident on every page of \u003ci\u003eObstinate Daughters\u003c\/i\u003e, which retrieves voices not only marginalized by history but previously lost to it.
