From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Founding Mothers of the United States, also simply the Founding Mothers, were the women involved in the creation of the United States of America. Though they were not central to politics or soldiering like the Founding Fathers, their influence rested in their roles as mothers, sisters, daughters, and wives of the Founding Fathers and of the soldiers who fought in the American Revolution.
The inclusion of the Founding Mothers in the teaching of the American Revolution can be seen as part of the effort to diversify History education. It can also be seen as a feminist approach to education on the American Revolution
