Edenton Tea Party, the earliest organized women's political actions in U.S. History!
October 25, 1774
 | Ten
months after the famous Boston Tea Party organized by men, the women of Edenton to have their own party.
Together they formed an alliance wholeheartedly supporting the American cause against “taxation without representation", Boycotting a substance that was consumed on a daily basis, and that was so highly regarded in society, demonstrated the colonists strong disapproval of the 1773 Tea Act. Following the example of their Boston patriots, the women of Edenton boldly protested Britain’s what they considered unjust laws. (Carney, R) |
