dc.descriptionSome women found ways to join the fight for independence. Margaret Corbin, for example, disguised herself as a man and traveled with her husband to the front lines of the Battle of Fort Washington, where she helped him load his cannon. When her husband was shot by enemy fire, Margaret carried on fighting, even though she had been shot three times. She was given a military pension in acknowledgment of her efforts, and years after her death was reburied at West Point with full military honors.
