What was so unusual about wome becoming politically involoed in the 1760s and 1770s?

In the 1760s and 1770s, women's political involvement was unusual because societal norms largely confined women to domestic roles and excluded them from formal political participation. However, as tensions rose leading up to the American Revolution, women began to engage in political activities, such as boycotting British goods and participating in protests. This marked a significant shift, as women used their influence in the household and community to advocate for independence and challenge traditional gender roles. Their involvement laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for women's rights.
