Description
From slave women to abolitionists, fund raisers, spies, and even soldiers, courageous women such as Angelina Grimke, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman, and Clara Barton played fascinating--and vital--roles in the Civil War. Drawing on diaries and letters and illustrated with vintage photographs. A Separate Battle reveals how women influenced the course of the Civil War--and transformed their own lives.
"I could work as much and eat as much as a man--when I could get it--and bear the lash as well. . . . And aren't I a woman?"--Sojourner Truth
