Republican Motherhood

1).  Women turned from aristocratic "baby sitters" to the backbone of the revolution. They were needed to change into a more hands on position. Unlike previous times when women did not even care for their children, they had to care for their kids, husband, and other responsibilities added during the revolution.

2). Regardless of this new roll taken on by women, they had to deal with the stresses that came with the new work.  And much was expected from them, their responsibilities could easily become overwhelming. Other downsides are the start to many biased views that would carry on for years after.

3). This is important time period for the american woman. This being because they gained many responsibilities, and were the driving force behind the revolution. And there is no doubt that with out women it would have been hard to win this war.
