Books by Catherine Clinton

This is a long-overdue historical work on one of the most important figures in American history, written by an acclaimed historian of the antebellum era. Harriet Tubman was the first and only woman, fugitive slave, and black to work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad.

Scholar Catherine Clinton reflects on the roles of women as historical actors within the field of Civil War studies and examines the ways in which historians have redefined female wartime participation.

Offers students of women's history and nineteenth-century American culture with a source of information and interpretation. This book focuses on areas in which scholars have identified changes (such as suffrage and reform), and innovative explorations (for example, work on female sexuality). It features alphabetical encyclopedia-like entries.

This text provides accounts of the American Civil War's impact on the lives of women and children, black and white, on both sides of the conflict.
