Exchange Exemplar: "Liar Temptress Soldier Spy" In The Civil War

Belle Boyd played a key role in the Civil War.

The statues are almost entirely of men.  But lots of people played a huge variety of roles in the American Civil War. 

Karen Abbott gives us an unusual look at women of the Civil War, undercover, in the book Liar Temptress Soldier Spy

Those really are the job descriptions for the four women profiled, two each from North and South.  The interview is from October 2014.
