The term "Founding Mothers" refers to women who played significant roles during the American Revolution and in the early development of the United States. This includes wives of the Founders, First Ladies, writers, poets, and war heroes. These women passionately supported the cause of independence and contributed greatly to the nation's social and political landscape. Although they were not as publicly visible as their male counterparts, their influence was instrumental in shaping the United States as we know it today.

The National Archives keeps many letters, works, and correspondence written by these women to other Founders, offering valuable insights into their private lives and the events of the Revolution. Many of these transcriptions can be found online at the National Archives’ Founders Online website, including Abigail Adams’s famous “Remember the Ladies” letter sent to her husband.
