Valiant Warrioress
Beyond the Battlefield, Beyond the Boundaries
True Stories of Civil War Women
They cut their hair. Took men’s names. Put on uniforms.
And went to war.
Some fought in battle. Some carried messages through enemy lines. Some nursed the wounded, gathered intelligence, smuggled supplies, or followed armies into places society insisted women did not belong.
Through dramatic storytelling, historical photographs, period clothing, and documented accounts, Valiant Warrioress takes audiences inside the hidden world of women during the Civil War.
Discover why women disguised themselves as soldiers, how they maintained their identities, what happened when they were discovered, and the extraordinary dangers faced by women serving as soldiers, spies, nurses, scouts, smugglers, and vivandières.
Meet women who survived and told their stories.
Women who were exposed only after being wounded.
Women who died beneath a male soldier’s uniform, unknown but to God.
And women whose true identities may never have been discovered at all.
How many women went to war and vanished behind a man’s name?
We may never know.
But the stories that remain reveal courage, sacrifice, secrecy, and a side of the Civil War many audiences have never encountered.
