Woman_s Work in the Civil War A Record of Heroism, Patriotism, and Patience

An inspiring and comprehensive tribute to the vital roles women played during the American Civil War.

Woman’s Work in the Civil War documents the extraordinary contributions of women from both the North and South who served as nurses, fundraisers, organizers, and caretakers during one of the nation’s most devastating conflicts. Through detailed biographies and firsthand accounts, the book honors the courage, endurance, and patriotism of hundreds of women—many of whom risked their lives to provide comfort and aid to soldiers on the battlefield and in hospitals.

Originally published in 1867, this landmark work preserves the often-overlooked stories of female resilience and sacrifice. It serves not only as a valuable historical record but also as a moving reminder of the strength and compassion women brought to a time of great national crisis.

Essential reading for anyone interested in women’s history, Civil War studies, and American social history.
