From the Card:
- Your father is a Patriot, but some of your relatives are powerful Loyalists.
- You are visiting your Loyalist uncle when a crowd attacks him because of his politics. He tries to defend his home, but you help persuade him to escape.
- During the war, your father is watched by the British army, so he sends you to deliver secret letters on his behalf.
- After the war you become an author, writing mostly about women’s rights. You also establish a female version of the Freemasons which opens several schools for girls.
