    One might say I’ve experienced my share of fright, heartache, and disappointment in life. Born in 1940 in Berlin, Germany to a very strict Jewish family, it seemed as though my life was destined to be like any other European Jew at that time: deathly persecution by the ever-present population of anti-semites in Europe. Shortly after the Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933, my parents, older sister, and I fled to live with my great aunt in Barcelona, Spain. Looking back on that event, I consider myself greatly blessed to have fled from the evil and persecution of the Nazis, for many Jews didn’t have that privilege. Even at a young age while living in Spain, I often felt feelings of guilt, for many of my fellow Jews were being killed by the thousands each day.…

    Revolutionary Mothers: Women in the Struggle for America’s Independence is a book inciting women’s roles during the Revolutionary war and all the struggles they had to deal with and overcome. In the introduction chapter the author, Carol Berkin, discusses how in the history books they seem to tell the Revolutionary war as “both a quaint and harmless war” (Berkin, pg.ix) when in fact it was the complete opposite.

The women that most people know of to be associated to the war are Abigail Adams, Betsy Ross, and Molly Pitcher but what they are known for is not accurate. With this being said, Berkin wrote this book to take a “closer…
