Course Description

Meet the women who defied society’s expectations and bravely chose to take on more dangerous, unconventional roles during the Civil War. This course reveals the exploits of the remarkable women who served as medics, spies, battlefield helpers and even soldiers on the front lines. Meet fascinating figures such as Maria Lewis, a former slave who fought with the Cavalry Corps as it swept through Virginia, and Kady Brownell, who supported her husband’s Rhode Island regiment as a vivandière, training with the soldiers, fighting in battle and helping the injured. Each woman's experience helps us to see a truer, fuller and richer version of what really happened in this country during the war.
