Women Heroes of the US Army: Remarkable Soldiers from the American Revolution to Today Volume 23

by Ann McCallum Staats and Ann McCallum Staats

Book Overview

Though early laws prohibited women from becoming soldiers, many women still found ways to serve, even disguising themselves as men to participate in active battle. Margaret Cochran Corbin joined the continental Army cannon crew after her husband was killed during the Civil War, disguised as "William Cathay." And Charity Adams Earley commanded the first African American battalion of the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps in Europe during World War II.
