"[This book] tells the story of the forgotten women who spent the winter of 1777-78 with the Continental Army at Valley Forge -- from those on society's lowest rungs to ladies of the upper echelon. Poor, dirty beings who clung to the very edge of survival, many camp women were soldiers' wives who worked as the army's washerwomen, nurses, cooks, or seamstresses. Though these women's written correspondence is scarce, author Nancy Loane uses sources such as issued military orders, pension depositions after the war, and soldiers' descriptions to bring these women to life. Other women at the encampment were of higher status: they traveled with Washington's entourage when the army headquarters shifted from place to place and served the general as valued cooks, laundresses, or housekeepers ... Drawing from diary entries and letters, Following the drum illuminates the experiences of these ladies, including Martha Washington, Lucy Knox, and Lady Stirling, during the encampment and then traces their lives after the Revolutionary War"--Jacket.

En quoi l’histoire des sœurs Grimké peut-elle intéresser le lecteur français contemporain, non spécialiste de l’histoire américaine du XIXe siècle ? Retiendra-t-il d’elles des figures de l’antiesclavagisme radical ou des personnalités féministes avant-gardistes ? Une cartographie de l’histoire des deux soeurs, des lieux d’élection et des lieux de reniement illustre leur itinéraire, du Sud le plus traditionaliste à la Nouvelle-Angleterre, terroir du radicalisme réformiste, ainsi que la gestation de leur révolte personnelle, la formation de leurs prises de position et leur émancipation tant sociale que religieuse et intellectuelle. Plus que leur participation militante au débat public contre l’esclavage, leurs écrits, jamais encore traduits en français, éclairent ce parcours qui, tout en s’appuyant sur la cause de l’antiesclavagisme, développe un argumentaire féministe exemplaire dont le progressisme reste inégalé encore aujourd’hui. How can the story of the Grimké sisters be of interest to contemporary French readers, who are not particularly au fait with 19th century American history? Will they seem them as activists in the radical antislavery movement or pioneers for the feminist cause? The sisters’ story, including the destinations they selected or disowned, chronicles their journey, from a South mired in tradition to New England, the land of radical reform. It tells of the gestation of their own rebellion, of the hardening of their stance and of their social, religious and intellectual emancipation. More than the vocal contribution to the public debate against slavery, their writings, never before translated into French, shed light on this evolution which, together with the anti-slavery stance, places greater emphasis on feminist arguments, the progressivism of which remains unequalled even today.
