Women of the Civil War Era: Courage, Conflict & Hidden History
Civil War Women’s History Programs About Soldiers, Spies, Nurses, Home Front Survival & Hidden Stories of the 1860s
In the mid-19th century, the Civil War changed every part of American life — not only on the battlefield, but in homes, hospitals, towns, farms, and communities across the nation. Women experienced the war in powerful and often overlooked ways.
Some served as nurses, spies, relief workers, writers, widows, mothers, refugees, and keepers of home and family. Others stepped beyond every expectation placed upon them, disguising themselves as men to fight as soldiers in the ranks.
These programs explore the courage, sacrifice, survival, and hidden history of women during the Civil War era. Through historic clothing, storytelling, and powerful historical context, audiences discover how women faced war, loss, duty, danger, and change in a world being torn apart.
This category brings forward the women whose stories were often left out of traditional Civil War history — women who served, struggled, endured, and defied expectations in extraordinary ways.
