By delving deeply into the lives of three women - Sophronia Bucklin, Annie Wittenmyer, and Mary Walker - Leonard brings to life the daily manifestations of women's wartime service. Bucklin traveled to the frontline hospitals to nurse the wounded and ill, bearing the hardships along with the men. Wittenmyer extended her antebellum charitable activities to organizing committees to supply goods for the troops in Iowa, setting up orphanages for the children of Union soldiers, and creating and managing special diet kitchens for the sick soldiers. Mary Walker forms her own unique category. A feminist and dress reformer, she became the only woman to sign a contract as a doctor for the Union forces. In hospitals and at the battlefront, she tended the wounded in her capacity as a physician and even endured imprisonment as a spy. . In their service to the Union, these women faced not only the normal privations of war but also other challenges that thwarted many of their efforts. Bucklin was more daring than some nurses in confronting those in charge if she felt she was being prevented from doing what was needed for the soldiers under her care. In her memoir, she recounted the frictions between the men and women supposedly toiling for a unified purpose. Wittenmyer, like other women in soldiers' aid, also had to stand up to male challengers.  aInventory: Single copy, entry 517; recorded quantity 1; damaged N/A 4aFemale Participation 4aHistory 4aMedical Care 4aParticipation, Female 4aUnited States Civil War, 1861-1865 4aWar Work 4aWomen 4aParticipation Des Femmes  cBOOK2ddc  c505d505  00102ddc40708NFICaMAINbMAINd2026-10-16l0o973.715 LEOpLIB01948r2026-10-16 20:26:25w2026-10-16yBOOK
