    One of the women who aided the cause of the American army was Prudence Wright also known as the Minutewoman. When the women of Pepperell in Massachusetts knew about the Boston Tea Party, they burned tea leaves in their town. So, when the men went to the war, the women decided to form their own army to protect the people left in their town. It was Prudence who was elected to become the leader of the "Mrs. David Wright's Guard." They wore the clothes of their husbands and brought weapons like muskets and farm tools. The reason for their small army being formed was that Prudence heard from her brother that there was a smuggling happened from Canada to Boston. So, on the day of the smuggling, the small army blocked them and confiscated their documents and held them overnight as prisoners while messages were sent to the Committee of Safety.
