Beschreibung

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.
