Daughters of Liberty

This article is about the 18th century anti-British colonial American woman's organization. For 19th and 20th century anti-immigrant US woman's organization, see Order_of_United_American_Mechanics § Daughters_of_Liberty.

The Daughters of Liberty was known as the formal female association that was formed in 1765 to protest the Stamp Act, and later the Townshend Acts, and was a general term for women who identified themselves as fighting for liberty during the American Revolution.[1]
