The admiration and excitement the people of the United States experience talking and thinking of the Revolutionary times as the beginning of the national unity appear due to a wide misrepresentation of the historical facts by authors and filmmakers.įrequently, the American Revolution is depicted as a time of the national unity and wholeness, where the heroes of all walks of life joined their efforts in the fight for liberty and equality. The American Revolution is the period in the country’s history that the American society is used to romanticize. “Revolutionary Mothers” by Berkin demonstrates the silent, yet fierce power of women during the revolution, their strong impact, and their genuine opposition to the war and all the destruction it brought. The author enlightens the reader about the true and fictional stories of that time, points out the stereotypes and realities. Carol Berkin’s “Revolutionary Mothers” brings back to life the forgotten and disregarded image of women during the times of the American Revolution. As much as history argues about the Revolutionary and Founding Fathers, it often fails to mention the companions of these mighty men. ![]()
