Women, Armies, and Warfare in Early Modern Europe examines the
important roles of women who campaigned with armies from 1500 to
1815. This included those notable female individuals who assumed
male identities to serve in the ranks, but far more numerous and
essential were the formidable women who, as women, marched in the
train of armies. While some worked as full-time or part-time
prostitutes, they more generally performed a variety of necessary
gendered tasks, including laundering, sewing, cooking, and nursing.
Early modern armies were always accompanied by women and regarded
them as essential to the well-being of the troops. Lynn argues
that, before 1650, women were also fundamental to armies because
they were integral to the pillage economy that maintained troops in
the field.
