  • Women collected funds to aid the war effort, boycotted British tea and other products by making their own, and sewed uniforms and blankets for the troops. Many were left to run farms or businesses as well as care for their children while husbands were away fighting. Some were left destitute when their homes and livelihoods were destroyed in battle.
