Revolutionary mothers : women in the struggle for America's independence / by Berkin, Carol.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 163-182) and index.Clio's daughters, lost and found -- "The easy task of obeying": Englishwomen's place in Colonial society -- "They say it is tea that caused it": women join the protest against English policy -- "You can form no idea of the horrors": the challenges of a home-front war -- "Such a sordid set of creatures in human figure": women who followed the Army -- "How unhappy is war to domestic happiness": generals' wives and the war -- "A journey a crosse ye wilderness": Loyalist women in exile -- "The women must hear our words": the Revolution in the lives of Indian women -- "The day of jubilee is come": African American women and the American Revolution -- "It was I who did it": spies, saboteurs, couriers, and other heroines -- "There is no sex in soul": the legacy of Revolution.The American Revolution was a home-front war that brought scarcity, bloodshed, and danger into the life of every American. The author shows that women played a vital role throughout the struggle: we see women boycotting British goods in the years before independence, writing propaganda that radicalized their neighbors, raising funds for the army, and helping finance the fledgling government. We see how they managed farms, plantations, and businesses while their men went into battle, and how they served as nurses and cooks in the army camps; risked their lives carrying intelligence, participating in reconnaissance missions, or seeking personal freedom from slavery; served as spies, saboteurs, and warriors; and lived with the daily knowledge that their husbands could be hanged as traitors if the revolution did not succeed.

Sister mother warrior : [electronic resource] : A novel. by Riley, Vanessa.; Andoh, Adjoa.;
Narrator: Adjoa Andoh.Acclaimed author of Island Queen Vanessa Riley brings readers a vivid, sweeping novel of the Haitian Revolution based on the true-life stories of two extraordinary women: the first Empress of Haiti, Marie-Claire Bonheur, and Gran Toya, a West African-born warrior who helped lead the rebellion that drove out the French and freed the enslaved people of Haiti. Gran Toya : Born in West Africa, Abdaraya Toya was one of the legendary minos—women called "Dahomeyan Amazons" by the Europeans—who were specially chosen female warriors consecrated to the King of Dahomey. Betrayed by an enemy, kidnapped, and sold into slavery, Toya wound up in the French colony of Saint Domingue, where she became a force to be reckoned with on its sugar plantations: a healer and an authority figure among the enslaved. Among the motherless children she helped raise was a man who would become the revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines. When the enslaved people rose up, Toya, ever the warrior, was at the forefront of the rebellion that changed the course of history. Marie-Claire : A free woman of color, Marie-Claire Bonheur was raised in an air of privilege and security because of her wealthy white grandfather. With a passion for charitable work, she grew up looking for ways to help those oppressed by a society steeped in racial and economic injustices. Falling in love with Jean-Jacques Dessalines, an enslaved man, was never the plan, yet their paths continued to cross and intertwine, and despite a marriage of convenience to a Frenchman, she and Dessalines had several children. When war breaks out on Saint Domingue, pitting the French, Spanish, and enslaved people against one another in turn, Marie-Claire and Toya finally meet, and despite their deep differences, they both play pivotal roles in the revolution that will eventually lead to full independence for Haiti and its people. Both an emotionally palpable love story and a detail-rich historical novel, Sister Mother Warrior tells the often-overlooked history of the most successful Black uprising in history. Riley celebrates the tremendous courage and resilience of the revolutionaries, and the formidable strength and intelligence of Toya, Marie-Claire, and the countless other women who fought for freedom.

Mothers unite! : organizing for workplace flexibility and the transformation of family life / by Crowley, Jocelyn Elise,1970-;
Includes bibliographical references (p. [209]-220) and index.American mothers, American troubles -- Power in numbers -- Why join? -- Barriers to organizing on behalf of workplace flexibility : are mommy war attitudes to blame? -- Workplace flexibility options -- Are we in a movement now? can we get there? -- Mothers need leadership, too."In Mothers Unite!, a bold and hopeful new rallying cry for changing the relationship between home and the workplace, the author envisions a genuine, universal world of workplace flexibility that helps mothers who stay at home, those who work part time, and those who work full time balance their commitments to their jobs and their families. Achieving this goal, she argues, will require a broad-based movement that harnesses the energy of existing organizations of mothers that already support workplace flexibility in their own ways. Crowley examines the efforts of five diverse national mothers' organizations: Mocha Moms, which aims to assist mothers of color; Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS), which stresses the promotion of Christian values; Mothers & More, which emphasizes support for those moving in and out of the paid workforce; MomsRising, which focuses on online political advocacy; and the National Association of Mothers' Centers (NAMC), which highlights community-based networking. After providing an engaging and detailed account of the history, membership profiles, strategies, and successes of each of these organizations, Crowley suggests actions that will allow greater workplace flexibility to become a viable reality and points to many opportunities to promote intergroup mobilization and unite mothers once and for all."--Jacket.
