HTML: Hidden amongst the photographs, uniforms, revolvers, and war medals of the Civil War are the remarkable stories of some of the most unlikely heroesâ??women. North, South, black, white, Native American, immigrantâ??the women in these micro-drama biographies are wives, mothers, sisters, and friends whose purposes ranged from supporting husbands and sons during wartime to counseling President Lincoln on strategy, from tending to the wounded on the battlefield to spiriting away slaves through the Underground Railroad, from donning a uniform and fighting unrecognized alongside the men to working as spies for either side. This book brings to light the incredible stories of women from the Civil War that remain relevant to our nation today. Each woman's experience helps us see a truer, fuller, richer version of what really happened in this country during this time period Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

1. Some moral equivalency between the North and South that felt a little gross.
2. Given how recent this book is, the lack of acknowledgement of transgender people was pointedly painful in a few places.
3. The author's tendency to over-reach when tying things together in each chapter conclusion.
That said, I REALLY ENJOYED many of the stories, and I love the way the book was formatted, with further reading sections right in the body text at the end of each chapter, encouraging you to read further about some of these remarkable people. (
