The ideal Victorian woman was supposed to keep the home fires burning but, with the outbreak of the American Civil War, women moved out of their domestic domains to help the Yankee cause. This text describes three women - Sophronia Bucklin, Annie Wittenmyer and Mary Walker - who dedicated themselves to their country. Bucklin travelled to the frontier as a nurse, bearing the hardships along with the men. Wittenmyer organized committees to supply goods for the troops in Iowa, set up orphanages for the children of Union soldiers and created and managed special kitchens for the sick soldiers. Walker, a feminist and dress reformer, became the only woman to serve as a doctor for the Union forces. This text portrays the daily battles that women fought in order to be allowed to serve their country and explores the enlarged roles that women could play after the war.
