Susan Casey is an author and educator who specializes in bringing hidden historical narratives to life for younger audiences and general readers alike. In this book, she presents twenty portraits of women who defied social conventions to serve as soldiers, spies, and messengers. The book chronicles and illustrates the diverse contribution of these women and how their bravery was vital to the patriot cause. Ultimately, Casey’s work serves to prove the struggle for independence was a truly collective effort that crossed gender lines.
