Focusing on women's roles during the Civil War, Catherine Clinton challenges traditional narratives that marginalize both white and black women's contributions. She critiques stereotypes of southern women and highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of their involvement in the conflict. By incorporating new historical evidence and revisionist literature, Clinton reveals how women defied gender norms, participating actively in wartime efforts. Her work encourages a broader discussion on the complexities of gender and race, reshaping the understanding of women's impact on Civil War history.
