Revolutionary Prudence Wright: Leading the Minute Women in the Fight for Independence
odde Prudence Cummings painted snipped and folded her precious piece of paper crafting a love box like any colonial girl But when she bested boys at school

Year after year Prudence fumed as King George III of England tightened his grip on the American colonies He robbed them of hard earned money with taxes on tea sugar glass paper lead and paint He denied their rights to make their own laws and sell their own goods He invaded their homes with British soldiers who demanded free room and board Tensions mounted as suspicion crept among the colonists Who was a Tory loyal to the King Who was a patriot determined to fight for their rights
