When merchants in the colonies refused to import British goods, women responded by organizing and participating in boycotts, known as the "Daughters of Liberty." They crafted homemade goods, such as cloth and tea substitutes, to reduce dependence on British imports. This grassroots activism not only supported the colonial economy but also empowered women, allowing them to play a significant role in the resistance against British rule. Their efforts contributed to the broader movement for independence by fostering a sense of unity and purpose among colonists.
