Harriet Tubman. Clara Barton. Sojourner Truth. Harriet Beecher Stowe. These and many other women were important actors who had a significant influence on the United States during the Civil War. At the time they and their fellow female trailblazers were underestimated because of the social norms of the era. But over time they came to be seen as indispensable in many fields, not only nursing, but also, strangely enough, espionage. Their actions were critical in changing the mindset of the nation as to the worth and role of women, and it would never be the same.This book contains 50 short biographies of these influential women, including their pictures and additional contemporary artifacts, from pictures of the hospitals at which they worked to battlefield where they fought, frequently disguised as men.This book is the fourth in the series "Civil War Personalities, 50 At a Time," and it focuses on the half of of the population few would have even considered as important before the war began. But the Civil War changed literally every aspect of American life, including relations between the sexes. This book will show you how and why that happened, and it will also, through the list of books for further reading, allow you to pursue further information. Enjoy the trip!
