Many women were involved in the war in many ways. They were nurses, spies, fought next to men, tried to keep the farms and plantations working. Today we recongnize that there are single mothers, but in the civil war no one cared if there were or not. When the three days of battle in Gettysburg were over about 53,000 men died. This meant that all of the wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters who depended on these men were left without a income or household. Women couldn't own land, have bank accounts, get a higher education and were considered second class citizens. They couldn't vote. Many women had only one or two ways for supporting their children. They could be teachers, become prostitutes, take in laundry, remarry, or become a seamstress. Many many women followed the solders and the camps as nurses, cooks, and prostitues.

What those three very important and famous at the time and present day famous women had in common with Harriet Tubman was that they all contributed in the Union side during the American Civil War.
There were several women spies during the US Civil War, including Rose O'Neal Greenhow, a prominent Confederate spy, and Belle Boyd, who spied for the Confederacy. Other notable women spies included Elizabeth Van Lew, who was a Union spy, and Mary Elizabeth Bowser, an African American woman who worked as a spy for the Union while posing as a slave in Confederate households.
Rose O'Neal Greenhow, she spyed for the confederates, but didnt realy FIGHT in the war. she also delivered a message that made the confederacy win the war of the battle of bull run.
Quite a number, often working as spies. The most notable was Loreta Velasquez, who wrote one of the best books of Civil War memoirs. She claimed to have fought in the Confederate armies in male uniform and under a male name, though her anecdotes of front-line infantry service do not ring true.

It demonstrated how little secrecy there was in intelligence circles in the Civil War.
It would depend on which civil war you are referring to.
