During the Revolutionary War-era United States, women played increasingly significant roles in politics and activism. Women such as Abigail Adams and Mercy Otis Warren engaged in political discourse, advocating for independence and expressing their ideas through letters and publications. Although largely excluded from official political structures, women's contributions to boycotts and fundraising efforts were crucial to the war's success. Additionally, their participation in public life gradually challenged existing gender norms, laying early groundwork for future movements advocating for women's rights and suffrage, thereby influencing the evolving role of women in American society.
