As many as 20,000 women worked in Union and Confederate hospitals
during America's bloodiest war. Black and white, and from various
social classes, these women served as nurses, administrators,
matrons, seamstresses, cooks, laundresses, and custodial workers.
Jane Schultz provides the first full history of these female relief
workers and shows how the domestic and military arenas merged in
Civil War America, blurring the line between homefront and
battle-front. Examining the lives and legacies of Dorothea Dix,
Clara Barton, Susie King Taylor, and others, Schultz demonstrates
that class, race, and gender roles linked female workers with
soldiers, both black and white. Those same features also stoked
conflict between the hospital women and doctors and even among the
women themselves.
