Wives of the Signers

The women behind the Declaration of Independence

"Behind every great man..."

   Foreword by David Barton - Great American men have always understood the importance of women.  John Adams described them as "the most infallible barometer...of morality and virtue in a nation. And Daniel Webster said the "Promulgation of sound morals" was a woman's contribution to "the preservation of a free government." 

This book "describes those women who, alongside their husbands, experienced the trials and triumphs of the struggle for independence and the challenge of building a new nation.  Though they did not confront the hail of bullets or cannon, though they did not participate in conventions or congresses, they were at the heart of every soul-stirring historic event. Wives of the Signers is a book about the heart of America. "
