Bookroo's summary

Prudence Wright, fueled by a fierce spirit, defies British oppression in colonial Massachusetts. As threats loom over her community, she forms a bold group of 'minute women' to challenge tradition and fight for freedom. Can her courage change the course of history?

From the publisher

Here is the first-ever picture book about female Revolutionary War activist Prudence Wright, who rallied the first and only group of minute women to fight the British, changing history in the process. Prudence Wright had a spark of independence. Annoyed when the British king held back freedoms in colonial Massachusetts, feisty and fearless Prudence had enough. She said no! to British goods, determined to rely on her resourcefulness and ingenuity to get by. And when British troops continued to threaten the lives of her family and community, she assembled and led the minute women of Pepperell to break free of tradition. This untold story of a courageous and brave woman from the Revolutionary War continues to inspire today.
