How did women help spy during the revolutionary war?

In: American Revolution [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

Lydia Darragh was a Quaker, and her beliefs forbid her to get involved with the war. This was an advantage for the British because they could have meetings at her house. She would send the rest of her family to bed and then hide in the closet which was in the meeting room. She heard them plan an attack on General George Washington so she told one of his troops about the British plan to attack. The planned British victory was gone.
