Which group consisted of well-born British colonial women who led a non-importation movement?

• A. Daughters of Liberty
• B. Direct tax
• C. Indirect tax
• D. Loyalists

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is how women in the colonies used economic resistance to protest British policies. The Daughters of Liberty were a group of well-born colonial women who organized and led the non-importation movement. They leveraged their social networks to mobilize households, hosted spinning bees, and produced homespun cloth to replace imported fabrics. By promoting domestic manufacturing and urging boycott of British goods, they kept the boycott vibrant and visible, showing how private choices in the home could support a larger political stance. The other terms describe types of taxation or a political group that supported Britain, not a women-led organization driving a domestic boycott.
