Women of the Blue & Gray

De: Marianne Monson

Narrado por: Caroline Shaffer

Hidden among the photographs, uniforms, revolvers, and war medals of the Civil War are the remarkable stories of some of the most unlikely heroes: women.

North, South, Black, White, Native American, immigrant - the women in these small drama biographies are wives, mothers, sisters, and friends whose purposes ranged from supporting husbands and sons during wartime to counseling President Lincoln on strategy, from tending to the wounded on the battlefield to spiriting away slaves through the Underground Railroad, from donning a uniform and fighting unrecognized alongside the men to working as spies for either side.

This audiobook brings to light the incredible stories of women from the Civil War that remain relevant to our nation today. Each woman's experience helps us see a truer, fuller, richer version of what really happened in this country during this time period.

Interesting and well told

The information in this book is detailed, well paced, and well told. The author does a very good job. I learned a lot.

The narrator of the book does a very good job as well. I was never bored.

Couldn’t wait to suggest it to others

This material and the talent were a supreme match, in my opinion.

It’s an excellent read for my nieces to learn of empowered women. I want them to see that circumstance of time and place doesn’t have to mean no hope or choice. I feel this work can teach them that without being preachy.

This is real life. It’s entertaining as well as instructive. Kudos. Will be looking for future publications.

Blue and gray

I love it. I like the history of it. It take to the places where it all started and ended

Such information is needed to be shared

As a descendent of one or more of these incredible women who drew outside the lines of social norms. I appreciated the insights and the storytelling so we may learn true history or her story

Excellent!

This was was both an informative and interesting read about a difficult time in our country's history and the many women who played vital roles.

Fun listen

Fun listen. It’s always rewarding to lean about Womens contributions throughout history. Often overlooked or viewed as unimportant compared to the mens view.
