Listen "The Daughters of Liberty"
Episode Synopsis
The story of the American Revolution usually unfolds with images of muskets, marches, and men debating the future of a continent. Yet the fight for liberty also lived in quieter rooms where spinning wheels hummed and tea went untouched. The Daughters of Liberty stepped into that space and turned ordinary domestic life into a political force that Parliament never saw coming.Their work pulled women into a struggle that claimed to speak for all Americans while giving them no formal voice. They answered this slight with resolve. They controlled the household purse, so they made the boycotts real. They spun cloth when British imports dried up. They brewed liberty tea from herbs and leaves. Some carried intelligence for Washington. Some fought. Many organized. All left a mark.Their efforts carried the Revolution forward. Their legacy reminds us that liberty depends on the courage of people who refuse to sit quietly while history unfolds around them.
