Back then, women typically played a minor role in societies especially in the military. This was later changed by the coming of the Civil War that necessitated the women to sacrifice their family roles, and to go to the war in defense of their land and ideologies; both in the North and the South. Despite the heavy opposition of their roles in military operations, Leonard establishes that they participated in various capacities such as spying, being disguised male soldiers, and providing medical aid to the men on the battle fronts.

For this review, we should look into All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies in the light of the sacrifices made by women and gender issues at the time. The book mainly dwells on documenting the women who dared facing the challenge posed in the Civil War and the documented proof that is already in place in a verification of their bold moves. The author manages to use documented data from various records of the war and comes up with a comprehensive definition of the women’s contribution in the Civil War.

Combing the essential government records, she advances her research to the records of the adjutant general, veteran’s administration records, and the records found in the office of the Secretary of War to come up with official sources that contain long forgotten memoirs that were recorded by nurses of their accounts, on seeing women soldiers in hospitals. In the authoring of the book, Leonard uses a collection made of old newspaper articles from the war period and discovers scanty but useful accounts of the forgotten heroines of the war.

Professional scholars are contented with the history that Leonard brings to their knowledge through the use of well documented occurrences during the time of the war. She presents various examples portraying an intelligent perspective on the women’s part
