Book: Woman's War: Fighting and Surviving the American Civil War by Stephanie McCurry

We think of war as a man's world, but women have always played active roles in times of violence and been left to puck up the pieces in societies decimated by way. In this groundbreaking reconsideration of the Civil War, the award-winning author of Confederate Reckoning invites us to see America's bloodiest conflict not just as pitting brother against brother but as a woman's war.
