3.0

More like 3.5.

A fascinating read - perhaps because of the side they supported, I found Emma Edmonds and Elizabeth Van Lew's stories to be the most engaging, whereas I did not have much patience for Belle Boyd or Rose O'Neal Greenhow (especially the latter). I appreciated the author's choice to have the book read more like fiction than nonfiction, as nonfiction - especially historical nonfiction, where Everything Must Be Factual At All Costs - can be very dry sometimes.
