She Went to the Field: Women Soldiers of the Civil War by Bonnie Tsui

rachel_abby_reads's review against another edition

4.0

It reads a bit like a report, no life is gone into in any depth (as other reviews have noted), but it does a good job of highlighting the roles that women played in the Civil War - both by disguising themselves as men and as women undisguised.

It's enough to pique curiosity and encourage further research and reading, and since she cited many sources, there is a lot of material to search out.
