'The Fearless & Proud podcast' series looks at acts of bravery and strength by women. March is 'Women's History Month' and in this first season we discuss women who played important roles in the 'Civil War' as soldiers, spies and nurses.

We ask our guests for some of their final thoughts on the war and women's roles in it. We explain that the Fearless & Proud women of the Civil War broke many gender role molds and inspired future generations of women to understand they can have the same responsibilities as men, and be just as effective. We will also talk about the Victorian idea of a 'good death' and how that changed.
