By that I mean that if I read one book on a topic I enjoy, I will continue through as many volumes as I can find on the same subject until I simply need to break. This can mean that I will read perhaps 10 or 15 books in a row. For the Civil War it was everything referring to North, the South, Abraham Lincoln, Life during the War, etc. Recently, I re-watched a Civil War documentary that I'd enjoyed some years ago and went on the hunt again. I found this thoroughly enjoyable book on Women Soldiers in the Civil War.I expected it to be a short volume, but no. It's quite solid due to the fact that there were many more women involved than I could have imagined. I don't think I ever thought of woman sharpshooters outside of Belle Starr or Annie Oakley - there were many serving here and not just that. There were spies, orderlies, women involved in hand-to-hand fighting. They stood picket duty, got promoted to ranks as high as major and many were never caught out. Some died but many served full enlistments for as much as 4 years. Many suffered horrific wounds and survived to fight another battle.The other point of interest to me was how people reacted to these female warriors. Some folks were flabbergasted but all in favor. Others felt they were a disgrace to their sex or just plain crazy. You can decide, but certainly they were all fascinating characters.. ### ⭐⭐ Stuttering regurgitation of facts with no real narrative to lean on... *by N***H on Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2018* I debated between a three star review and a two star, but ultimately decided on two. While I am elated that the authors went through the trouble of researching these women, following bread crumbs, and bringing them to our attention - the book itself is so choppy as to feel like one is stuttering through a chapter. There seems to be no thought given to creating a narrative for the women, but is presented as though the authors gathered facts and wanted to make the book so literal, they forgot to give the humanity to the ladies they're discussing. Where other books will offer up narratives that are cohesive, the authors here will switch - even in the middle of a paragraph - to another woman without warning or explanation. Each chapter, where I felt I would finally get a story, only lead me to the same treatment as those before it - leaving me frustrated and dispassionate. I cared less and less about the women as I struggled through the chapters, and only found my focus growing stronger on the lack of cohesion and story of the book (not to mention nary a map in sight to even attempt keeping up with the spastic location shifting from sentence to sentence). I am capable of spending time in dry volumes, but with this title and subject, I truly wanted more than a simple regurgitation of facts and tidbits. Honestly... I feel the women who dressed as men to serve both sides of the American Civil War deserved at least that much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read *by L***O on Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012* This book was written well and informative considering the secrecy and lack of information of the woman who fought. As stated in the book, women, under the disguise as men, fought for their country or to follow their male family members or husbands into war. Often the true identity of these women were not discovered until their death. For such a private and secret matter the book had a lot of information to give on a subject that you think would lacking. I enjoyed this book and God love those women who had such guts! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5543451-they-fought-like-demons-women-soldiers-in-the-civil-war](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/5543451-they-fought-like-demons-women-soldiers-in-the-civil-war) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
