b. how some women helped patriot soldiers by doing laundry and cooking
c. how some women helped the patriots during the revolutionary war
d. how sybil ludington rode over 40 miles on horseback to alert nearby troops

Explanation:

The article starts by highlighting male founders but then shifts focus to women as revolutionists. It gives examples like Mary Ludwig Hayes (Molly Pitcher) firing a cannon and Prudence Cummings Wright forming an all - women guard. Option A only focuses on Mary Ludwig Hayes, which is too narrow. Option B only mentions laundry and cooking, but the article has more significant contributions. Option D only focuses on Sybil Ludington. Option C is the most comprehensive as it encompasses how some women (like those examples) helped the patriots during the Revolutionary War.

Answer:

C. how some women helped the patriots during the Revolutionary War
