About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Women of the American Revolution Volume 1 by Elizabeth F. Ellet. Read in English by Celine Major. Excerpt from Preface: Their patriotic sacrifices were made with an enthusiasm that showed the earnest spirit ready on every occasion to appear in generous acts. Some gave their own property, and went from house to house to solicit contributions for the army. Colors were embroidered by fair hands, and presented with the charge never to desert them; and arms and ammunition were provided by the same liberal zeal. They formed themselves into associations renouncing the use of teas, and other imported luxuries, and engaging to card, spin, and weave their own clothing.
