No Place for a Woman
«
"As he always does, Mike Pride gives us a living, breathing history. This is our Civil War from the inside out, carefully and artfully moving between the particular story of a heroic nurse and the larger fortunes of her regiment, the Second New Hampshire, as well as the Union Army itself. Riveting." —Ken Burns, filmmaker
"Students of US history may recognize the name of Harriet Dame, an intrepid Civil War nurse, but the specifics of her story have long seemed irrecoverable. In No Place for a Woman, Mike Pride brings Dame to life: fearless, enterprising, tireless, and opinionated—and often the only woman working among hundreds of men. Readers get an unflinching look at wartime medicine, a taste of politics and life on the home front, and a compelling new understanding of one of the Union's true heroes." —Felice Belman, deputy metro editor, New York Times
"[Mike Pride] convincingly argues his subject's contributions to the Union army were nothing short of heroic." —Journal of America's Military Past
