2 women who were in the Revolution were Molly Pitcher and Deborah Sampson, they both helped in the Revolutionary war.

Molly Pitcher went with her husband to the Battle of Monmouth, she helped the soldiers by bringing them pitchers of water, she even carried some wounded soldiers off the battle field. The most famous story is when Molly took over her husband’s cannon station when he was overheated, it was very dangerous. She had good aim with the cannon and stayed with with the cannon throughout the battle.

Deborah Sampson enlisted in the army when no women served in the army, she was dressed as a man and used the name Robert Shurtliff. She was shot in her left thigh and she didn’t want her real identity to be revealed so she extracted the pistol ball herself. She hid her identity well but a year and a half into her service she became ill during an epidemic, the doctor discovered that she was a female and treated her in his home. He later gave Deborah a letter for the commanding officer, it reported her true identity. She was honorably discharged from the army on October 23, 1783.
