A fact from Edenton Tea Party appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 5 September 2009 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Edenton Tea Party was one of the first instances of political activism by women in the Thirteen Colonies?

Merge articles[edit]

I have expanded the Penelope Barker article and there's more content about the Tea Party, what led up to it, and the aftermath.

It may be wise to merge content from Penelope Barker#Womens' protest against the British into this article... or merge it all into one article with a Redirect for Edenton Tea Party to Penelope Barker#Womens' protest against the British.

Do either of these make sense? Something else?–CaroleHenson (talk) 08:08, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done I merged content from this article to Edenton Tea Party in this edit.–CaroleHenson (talk) 18:01, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Penelope Barker quotation about tea parties[edit]

The quotation by Penelope Barker supposedly "said at the time" she sent the statement to London rings incredibly false. It's not in an 18th-century idiom at all, it does not approach men's & women's relationship in society in the way that any contemporary writers do (including women who openly share their political views, like Abigail Adams, Mercy Otis Warren & Hannah Winthrop), and--critically--it refers to tea protests as "tea parties," something which didn't start happening until a hundred years later. It's cited to the National Women's History Museum's biography of Barker, which in fact makes no mention of the quote. I am removing the quote (and correcting the NWHM's URL) until someone can provide an ironclad citation for it. Binabik80 (talk) 16:14, 20 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
