A Separate Battle: Women and the Civil War
Women played an important part in the U.S. Civil War, serving such varied roles as volunteers and nurses, soldiers and spies in both the North and the South. Drawing on 19th century women's letters, diaries, speeches and essays, Ina Chang eloquently tells their stories, placing them within the historical context of the abolitionist movement and the struggle for women's rights. The handsome volume, generously illustrated with photographs and prints from the era, is exemplary nonfiction for young readers. ©1991 Cooperative Children's Book Center
