Abstract
The article discusses the recent digitization of two letters from Julia Stockton Rush, dated 1776 and 1783, which provide insights into women's experiences during the Revolutionary War. These letters, now part of the American Philosophical Society’s digital library, highlight Julia's life as a young woman from a wealthy family, her marriage to Dr. Benjamin Rush, and her roles as a mother and caregiver amidst the war's challenges. The project aims to enhance the metadata associated with these letters to improve accessibility and understanding of women's contributions during this historical period, emphasizing the need to recognize diverse narratives beyond the more prominent roles often highlighted in history.
