About this listen

Hidden among the photographs, uniforms, revolvers, and war medals of the Civil War are the remarkable stories of some of the most unlikely heroes: women.

North, South, Black, White, Native American, immigrant - the women in these small drama biographies are wives, mothers, sisters, and friends whose purposes ranged from supporting husbands and sons during wartime to counseling President Lincoln on strategy, from tending to the wounded on the battlefield to spiriting away slaves through the Underground Railroad, from donning a uniform and fighting unrecognized alongside the men to working as spies for either side.

This audiobook brings to light the incredible stories of women from the Civil War that remain relevant to our nation today. Each woman's experience helps us see a truer, fuller, richer version of what really happened in this country during this time period.

This material and the talent were a supreme match, in my opinion.

It’s an excellent read for my nieces to learn of empowered women. I want them to see that circumstance of time and place doesn’t have to mean no hope or choice. I feel this work can teach them that without being preachy.

This is real life. It’s entertaining as well as instructive. Kudos. Will be looking for future publications.
