Answer 2

The correct answer is by making homespun cloth, working to produce goods and services to help the army, and even serving as spies.

Although the war raised the question of whether or not a woman may be a patriot, women across separate colonies demonstrated that they could. Support was expressed mainly through traditional female occupations in the home, the home economy, and their corporate husbands and fathers. Women participated in boycotting British products, producing goods for soldiers, spying on the British, and serving in the armed forces disguised as men.

The war also affected the lives of women who remained loyal to the crown, or were politically neutral; in many cases, the impact was devastating.
