An interesting look at four women who fought in the Civil War - each in the best way they knew how.

Very absorbing history of four women who worked as spies during the Civil War. I'd heard of Rose Greenhow and Elizabeth van Lew but not Belle Boyd or Emma Edmonds (?sp). Fascinating.
Also, excellent audiobook narration by Karen White.

DNF. I’ve made it an additional half hour into the audiobook, but the style of history—very very prose-y—is just not for me
This was an interesting book. War stories are so often written and told by men about men. It was refreshing and fascinating to read a book by a woman about women who played important roles in the Civil War. I was never sure about the timeline in the book, which was a little frustrating. But overall it was interesting and I’ll tell my friends and family about these women.
Interesting history of four brave women who risked their lives for their cause during the Civil War. My favorite tale was that of Emma, who donned a Union uniform, became "Frank", and was a spy for the Union army.
Hard to believe this is non-fiction!
Excellent read for anyone interested in the Civil War and the role that women played when there were so many things they weren't allowed to do.
