Answer: Abigail Adams, Deborah Sampson, and Mary Hays (also known as Molly Pitcher).

Step-by-step explanation:

Abigail Adams was a strong voice for women during the revolution, often urging her husband (Future President John Adams) to remember America's women in the new government they were creating. She was an early advocate for women's rights and education.

Deborah Sampson disguised herself as a man to enlist in the army under the name Robert Shurtliff, she refused to tell a doctor she had been shot in the thigh to protect her identity and performed first aid on herself, she was later discovered and honorably discharged.

Mary Hays/Molly Pitcher was a female who helped deliver water to the troops during battle, her husband was a gunner who was wounded in action so she took over his position in battle.
