Women's war : fighting and surviving the American Civil War
McCurry, Stephanie2019
Books, Manuscripts
The Civil War is remembered as a war of brother against brother, with women standing innocently on the sidelines. But battlefield realities soon challenged this simplistic understanding of women's place in war. Stephanie McCurry shows that women were indispensable to the unfolding of the Civil War, as they have been - and continue to be - in all wars.
