On the 25th of October 1774 Mrs. Penelope Barker arranged a meeting of 51 women to debate the use of British products. All women signed an oath outlining their promise to stop from using British products.

“Maybe it has only been men who have protested the king up to now. That only means we women have taken too long to let our voices be heard. We are signing our names to a document, not hiding ourselves behind costumes like the men in Boston did at their tea party. The British will know who we are.” Mrs. Penelope Barker, (about the signing of the oath)

‘As we cannot be indifferent on any occasion that appears nearly to affect the peace and happiness of our country, and as it has been thought necessary, for the public good, to enter into several particular resolves by a meeting of Members deputed from the whole Province, it is a duty which we owe, not only to our near and dear connections who have concurred in them, but to ourselves who are essentially interested in their welfare, to do every thing as far as lies in our power to testify our sincere adherence to the same; and we do therefore accordingly subscribe this paper, as a witness of our fixed intention and solemn determination to do so.’ Full pledge of the 51 Edenton Ladies, 25th October,1774

Response from Britain/America Once the news of the Edenton Ladies had reached Britain, they poked fun at the ladies. One example of this was the picture of the meeting (next slide).

“The only security on our side … is the probability that there are but few places in America which possess so much female artillery as Edenton.” Arthur Iredell, 1774

"No more shall my teapot so generous be In filling the cups with this pernicious tea, For I'll fill it with water and drink out the same Before I'll lose liberty that dearest name." American Newspaper celebrating the Edenton Tea Party
