Women in the medical field provided comfort and sanity during the blood and horror on the battlefields.

She was a nurse who later founded the American Red Cross. Readers will also meet Phoebe Yates Pember, Dr. Esther Hill Hawks, Mary Ann Bickerdyke, Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, Sally L. Tompkins, and Kate Cumming. While lives were being lost on the front, these women helped save many.
