The Civil War wrought cataclysmic changes in the lives of American
Women on both sides of the conflict. "Women in the Civil War"
demonstrates their enterprise, fortitude, and fierceness. In this
revealing social history, Massey focuses on many famous women,
including nurses Dorothea Dix, Clara Barton, and Mother Bickerdyke;
spies Pauline Cushman and Belle Boyd; writers Louisa May Alcott,
Julia Ward Howe, and Mary Chestnut; pamphleteer and military
strategist Anna Ella Carroll; black abolitionists Harriet Tubman
and Sojourner Truth; feminists Susan B. Anthony and Jane Grey
Swisshelm; and political wives Varina Davis and Mary Todd Lincoln.
The anonymous women who maintained farms and plantations are
described, as are camp followers, businesswomen, entertainers,
activists, and socialites in Charleston and Washington.
