Tempest in a Teapot

Record #:
40912
Abstract:
An early example of Colonial women's involvement in the fight for independence from Great Britain happened a year after an event renowned in American history textbooks. Just as remembrance-worthy as the Sons of Liberty dumping tea into Boston Harbor is a pledge signed by fifty one women from Edenton. Spearheaded by Penelope Barker, the Edenton Tea Party had put into writing their resolve to drink no more of the product they also saw as justification for rebellion.
