Woman soldier civil war?

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.

Who was involved in the civil war that was a women?

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. Much more believable are her accounts of espionage in Washington, where she used her charms to get under the guard of pompous generals and politicians. It demonstrated how little secrecy there was in intelligence circles in the Civil War.
