Penelope Barker
On October 25, 1774, Penelope Barker held a tea party. It wasn't any ordinary tea party. It was the first women's political act in colonial America. Penelope and 50 other women protested against the use of tea and clothes made from British cloth. Unlike the more famous Boston tea party, these women did not dress up in costumes; they openly signed their names to the declaration.
