The Civil War was the bloodiest conflict in American history, and although many were uncomfortable with the idea of women interacting with soldiers, there simply weren't enough male doctors to meet the needs of the wounded. Women in both the Union and the Confederacy helped fill that need, and in the doing so, changed the course of American medical history. This book tells the story of many of these brave women, including Dorothea Dix, an advocate for the mentally ill and the superintendent of army nurses for the Union, and Clara Barton, a self-taught nurse who founded the Red Cross.

This book, one of a series of books, reveals the secrets the Christian ministry does not want you to know. It is about the unknown writers of Holy Scriptures. From the earliest of times, the conquerors have had a hand in writing the history of their vanquished; hence, nine out of ten Christians don't know who wrote their Gospels. Today, even the clergy doesn't know as they regurgitate the lies that they were taught from their early years of inadequate religious inculcation (indoctrination). the Jews themselves looked upon the followers of Christ as a mere Israelitish sect--"The sect of the Nazarenes" (Acts 24:15). As stated in the Catholic Encyclopedia, they are "the believers in the promised Messiah" (Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. III, p. 713). Mankind, whose body is mortal, is promised immortality for his soul by a deceptive priest craft whose intentions are self-serving. What could possibly compel man to deceive, lie, and create fictitious histories? Food? Money? Sex? Profit? Prestige? All of the aforementioned? (cf. 2 Tim. 3:13). First of all is man's basic need: food. the common folk are now starving and disorderly as money is hard to obtain due to high interest rates, and upon this there are life-threatening droughts and a famine (cf. Deut. 7:1-2).

Early feminist pioneers contributed much to the functioning and reform of society, including making women’s status and privileges equal to those of men. However, we still do not know enough about their efforts, strategies, sacrifices, and attainments. As such, through a focus on the lives and contributions of eight early female pioneers of England and America from the seventeenth century to the early twentieth century, this book helps to fill this gap. Among these women were religious and educational reformers, political activists, social advocates, abolitionists, feminists, community organizers, pacifists, internationalists, and historians. These women noticed many injustices done to their kind by men and society over the centuries and took brave actions at great personal costs to provide remedies. Their respective backgrounds and interests were different, but all of them desired more protection and the welfare of vulnerable populations nationally and internationally. This book will be of interest to scholars and students in many fields, and can also be adopted as a textbook in colleges and universities.
