Yankee Women: Gender Battles in the Civil War by Leonard, Elizabeth D 

New York: W.W. Norton (1994). First edition with a 1 present in the number line; 8vo; cloth backed boards, hardcover; xxv, 308 pages; black and white photographic illustrations; from the dust jacket: "Leonard portrays the multiple ways in which women devoted themselves to the Union. By delving deeply into the lives of three women-- Sophronia Bucklin, Annie Wittenmyer, and Mary Walker, Leonard brings to life the daily manifestation of women's wartime service. Bucklin traveled to frontline hospital to nurse the wounded and ill. Wittenmyer extended her antebellum charitable activities to organizing committees to supply goods for the troops in Iowa, setting up orphanages and creating special diet kitchens for the sick soldiers, and Mary Walker became the only woman to sign a contract as a doctor for the Union Forces." a very good clean tight copy with no apparent flaws in a similar very good dust jacket.
