Produced for the Shaping the Constitution Web portal at the Library of Virginia's Digital Collections Web site, Virginiamemory.com:
Sandy Treadway, Librarian of Virginia, tells the story of Anna Maria Lane, a woman who fought as a soldier in the American Revolution. She discusses the role of women in the Revolution and how unusual Lane's contributions were as well as explaining how we know Lane's story through the scant information that remains about the heroic woman.
I wonder if her story is included in the History textbooks that are in our schools right now?
