In 1607, British boats arrived in the New World to establish the first permanent settlement at Jamestown.
Think
about how difficult it must have been for women over two hundred years
ago. They chose to accompany their men on a sailing ship meant more for
cargo than comfort. It was a long voyage, weeks at sea with risks,
self-sacrifice and no guarantees.
These incredible women joined
together with men on a pilgrimage to find something so precious, they
were willing to endure hardship and the unknown.
Successful, the first thing the women did was prepare a meal of thanksgiving to God.
In 1776, the 13 colonies declared their independence from England stating, “when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.--Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies…”
History records that the men were few against many professional soldiers during the American Revolution.
Women stepped up without hesitation. They sacrificed warm beds for cold nights, hunger, thirst, unimaginable fear and broken bones.
Like the men, women shed blood. Many died. They did all this to insure a bette way of life for themselves and future generations, our posterity.

American
women are the heart of America. They know how to solve problems, juggle
responsibilities, and remain adamant, fearless, courageous and caring
for 400 years (1607-2024)
America has been the benefactor of the love and courage of women since the day they stepped into the New World we now call America.
Women are problem-solvers both in and out of the home. That’s likely why many life-changing inventions and discoveries point to an American woman. They’ve given us solid leaders and inventions that transformed life, faith, family and the American Dream.
How important women are to the success of our great country.
Women are the heart of America, and America owes her women the same.
