This exciting new volume profiles several substantiated cases of
female soldiers during the American Civil War, including Sarah
Rosetta Wakeman (aka Private Lyons Wakeman, Union); Sarah Emma
Edmonds (aka Private Frank Thompson, Union); Loreta Janeta
Velazquez (aka Lieutenant Harry T. Buford, Confederate); and Jennie
Hodgers (aka Private Albert D. J. Cashier, Union). Also featured
are those women who may not have posed as male soldiers but who
nonetheless pushed gender boundaries to act boldly in related
military capacities, as spies, nurses, and vivandieres ("daughters
of the regiment") who bore the flag in battle, rallied troops, and
cared for the wounded.Examining the Civil War through the lens of
these women soldiers who fought in the conflict offers valuable
insight on existing historical work. This volume will acquaint
readers with these women, offering in-depth biographies and
behind-the-scenes information. While drawing from recent academic
work, Women Soldiers of the Civl War is a lively text geared toward
the general-audience reader.
