Probably the biggest impact the Revolutionary War had on families was in changing the role of women , both in the family and in larger society.
Women contributed to and were on the front lines (sometimes literally) of the war effort, in a way not seen in earlier conflicts. It was women who organized and led the successful boycott of British goods and increased domestic manufacturing by homemade products such as textiles, lamps and household goods. It was women who organized fundraising , purchase of materials and patriotic messages and rallies for American troops. And women even participated in the military side of the war. Many women were in the position of having to defend their homes against attacks from both British troops and Native Americans. They smuggled information and supplies to the front lines and even operated military equipment. Mary Ludwid Hays, was nicknamed "Molly Pitcher" because she carried water to American soldiers during the Battle of Monmouth in 1778. She even operated her husband's cannon when he fell in battle. Hays was made an officer by General Washington and, after the war, received a pension and was buried with full military honors.
Women also fulfilled many physically demanding jobs that were previously reserved strictly for men. It is of course true that these changes were born out of necessity as many young men were killed or taken prisoner and not out of some sudden societal shift in the proper role of women. But the changes stick after the war ended and continued in subsequent conflicts such as the War of 1812. The first flowering of what became the woman's right and suffrage movement also began in the Revolutionary War period. Because of their active role in the war period, women in the Revolutionary era were among the first to seriously examine the gender roles in American society and definitely paved the way for much of the radical changes that followed.
