Joely Richardson plays Charlotte Selton, Benjamin Martin’s sister-in-law. Many educated women of the South like Charlotte were ardent Patriots, active in fundraising and political groups like the Edenton Ladies. Such groups were prevalent throughout the colonies and crucial to the war effort, with many women writing inspiring essays on the cause. Charlotte is a self-sufficient widow whose strength is called on to help the Martin family survive throughout the war.
