Publisher's Synopsis

""Women's Work in the Civil War: A Record of Heroism, Patriotism, and Patience"" by L.P. Brockett is a historical account of the role of women in the American Civil War. The book highlights the contributions of women who served as nurses, spies, soldiers, and supporters of the Union and Confederate armies. The author provides detailed accounts of the experiences of women who risked their lives to care for wounded soldiers, smuggled supplies and information across enemy lines, and even disguised themselves as men to fight in battle. The book also explores the challenges that women faced during the war, including discrimination, poverty, and the loss of loved ones. Through personal anecdotes and historical evidence, ""Women's Work in the Civil War"" sheds light on the often-overlooked contributions of women during this pivotal moment in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
