Untold Stories: Women of the U.S. Civil War

The role of women during the U.S. Civil War has often been secondary to the stories of their male counterparts. These three works offer a corrective to that injustice. In this collection you will find Hospital Sketches, by Louisa May Alcott of Little Women fame; the stirring account, Nurse & Spy in the Union Army by S. Emma E. Edmonds; and Woman's Work in the Civil War, a contemporaneous attempt by L.P. Brockett to try to record the contributions of women at the time.
