 Women
Who Dare:
Women of the Civil War
By Michelle A. Krowl
Retail: $12.99
Pomegranate
American women
faced enormous challenges in the turbulent years of the Civil War.
Many refused to watch idly as their brothers, husbands, and sons
fought in the bloodiest war of America's history. Women Who Dare:
Women of the Civil War celebrates women of both the North and the
South whose courage and daring brought them into the fray, whether
by donning men's clothes and fighting as soldiers, becoming spies,
working as nurses in the bloody battlefields, or becoming
propagandists for the Cause. Acting out of patriotism, personal
commitment, or simple unwillingness to be left behind, these women
accepted the dangers and privations of war and earned their place in
history.
Through rare photographs and engaging text, renowned historical
figures such as Clara Barton and Harriet Tubman are recalled, along
with lesser-known heroines such as Dr. Mary E. Walker, who tended
soldiers and civilians during the war, and the Daughters of the
Regiment, who accompanied their husbands to battle. Their
captivating stories offer a unique glimpse into Civil War history.
64 pages with 43 black-and-white images. Size: 5 3/4 x 6 1/2 in.
Smyth-sewn casebound book, with dust jacket. ISBN 0-7649-3546-1.
Written by Michelle A. Krowl.
