SUMMARY:Civil War Women: Soldiers\, Spies\, and Suffragettes with Joann Kotcher
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special program commemorating Women’s History in the Civil War. Joann Puffer Kotcher\, Vietnam War Donut Dolly\, one of the first women allowed in a combat zone\, will discuss the riveting stories of women in the Civil War. The crash of cannons tore these brave young women out of their China-doll\, domestic rolls. Hundreds served incognito as soldiers\, and spies. Hundreds more managed businesses and plantations\, nursed the wounded and dying\, collected donations for soldier relief\, and thousands fled the advancing armies. The Civil War brought destruction and upheaval to women’s lives\, and\, ironically\, astounding progress. Come meet these women. From chaos came the seeds of today’s emancipation of women\, from the right to vote\, to ownership of property\, to today’s battlefield and boardroom. Never say\, “No good can come from war.” History gives us the power to see the future.
