Neither Ballots Nor Bullets: Women Abolitionists and Emancipation During the Civil War (Slavery, Feminism, Woman's Rights)

Women were actively involved in the Civil War abolition movement. Intellectuals such as Julia Ward Howe and Lydia Maria Child used their writing skills to encourage public support for antislavery. Harriet Beecher Stowe, the "little lady" who allegedly caused the big war, took advantage of her enormous popularity in England to urge British support for the Union. A young Philadelphia teenager named Anna Dickinson rose to prominence as an abolition orator, earning the title "Joan of Arc" of the Civil War.
