The Teaching History Her Way Podcast
Women Civil War Soldiers and Gender Expression: Just because we don't know doesn't mean it's not so!
In this episode, I interview New York Historical Society Women and the American Story Ambassador, Lee Sharmat, about women soldiers in the Civil War. In this intervew, we get to chat not only about women as fierce fighters in America's bloodiest conflict, but also about gender and sexuality and what those meant for these women and in the time period. Lee highlights the bravery of these soldiers, but also reminds us that there is still SO much to uncover about the people about the past. Just because we don't know, doesn't mean it's not so!
