Women in Battle in the Civil War.

Hall, Richard

Social Education, v58 n2 p80-82 Feb 1994

Contends that recent historical research has found strong and growing evidence of the presence of women on Civil War battlefields in numbers far beyond what previously had been believed. Discusses women who fought in disguise, those who served as nurses, and women who were given the title "daughters of the regiment." (CFR)
