What role did women play in the Civil War?
What will be an ideal response?

They managed farms or businesses that were vital for war production. They worked in clerical capacities in the absence of men. Some served as nurses, spies, couriers, etc. The case of Lyons Wakeman represents an unusual example of women's participation in the war effort.
