The American Revolution was fought and won by Patriots, people who had nothing to lose but their lives. Patriots came in all forms, men and women – often, we forget the importance women played in the American Revolution, the role they have historically played as champions of society and freedom. I was reminded of this recently by a reader – I have placed much focus on America’s Founding Fathers without mentioning the women that not only gave these men strength, but the women who helped inspire the freedoms and liberties we enjoy today. That is entirely my bad, American history is the experience of all Americans, and only exists because of the strength and efforts of women. Let’s explore Cibola’s connection to one of America’s greatest and least discussed heroes.
