Description
“Vivid. . . . Yankee Woman forms a valuable contribution to the study of a pivotal event in American history and credibly delves beneath the hagiographies to the messy politics of women’s involvement in what was once for them a new arena of public life.” ―Julie Wheelwright, London Sunday Times
Yankee Woman examines the experiences of women within the Civil War and, in particular, the lives of three courageous and independent women: one a frontline nurse, the second one a community organizer, and the third the one woman to serve as a Union army surgeon within the war. Elizabeth Leonard’s in-depth research and her ability to spin an enchanting tale combine to make Yankee Woman both an enchanting study of gender politics in society and a thoroughly soaking up story―the tale of three women ahead in their time.
