Know about the book -

While the Women Only Wept is written by Janice Potter-MacKinnon and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0773563725 (ISBN 10) and 9780773563728 (ISBN 13).

Potter-MacKinnon argues that the importance of the Loyalist women's endeavours was obscured in the historical record because most accounts of the Loyalist experience were provided by Loyalist men. She documents the women's vital services to the Crown in providing information and refuge to Loyalist fighters, maintaining open communication with Native allies, and helping provision the Loyalist forces. While the Women Only Wept contributes an important new perspective to Loyalist literature and adds a further chapter to women's history.
