The Good Stuff | The Lasting Impact of Women in The Civil War | Time Capsule @TheGoodStuff | Uploaded February 2016 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Before the Civil War in America, women were basically second class citizens. They couldn’t vote and had very few rights outside of the home.
When the war began women were able take on roles that they hadn’t in the previous decades.
Thousands of women became nurses and relief workers, and some of them also wanted to fight. Although women were prohibited from serving in the military, a few determined women disguised themselves as men and fought in the war, distinguishing themselves in battle.
