Mrs. Carolyn Baker, Betty Nielson, Margy Wylder

The Civil War was a battle that forever changed the face of a nation. The devastating loss of so many men resulted in thousands of widowed women and orphaned children, and survival was never guaranteed. Mrs. Carolyn Baker, Betty Nielson, and Margy Wylder tell the stories of three different women who endured and rose above the extreme difficulties faced by women during the 19th century. Readers will be inspired and impressed by the strength of these three women. They not only survived, they succeeded in a time that was not always kind to women.
