SUMMARY:Women Soldiers in the Civil War
DESCRIPTION:Explore an unusual and courageous group of soldiers seldom discussed in the annals of Civil War history. Although women were forbidden by social custom and army regulations to enter military service in the Union and Confederate armies, a surprising number of women disguised themselves as young men and “went for a soldier.” Tracey McIntire and Audrey Scanlan-Teller will discuss and share documentation of some of the more fascinating women and what motivated them to fight alongside men.\nTracey McIntire earned her BA in English at Rivier College in Nashua, N.H. She is a Battlefield Ambassador at Antietam National Battlefield, a historical interpreter at South Mountain State Battlefield, a historical weapons safety officer, and an active Civil War living historian, where she portrays a woman soldier in various guises. She is also a member of Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War, and the Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic.\nAudrey Scanlan-Teller earned her MA and PhD in art history at the University of Delaware. Since 2005, she has portrayed a Civil War enlisted soldier for historical interpretive demonstrations, a portrayal that compelled her to study the women soldiers of the Civil War. A published scholar and public speaker, Dr. Scanlan-Teller is an active interpretive volunteer at Antietam National Battlefield Park, a historical interpreter at South Mountain State Battlefield Park, and a small business owner.\nThomas F. Hayden Virtual Lecture Series presents: Women Soldiers in the Civil War by Tracey McIntire and Audrey Scanlan-Teller.\nPlatform: Zoom\nWednesday, November 10, 2021, 7 pm\nRegister here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-soldiers-in-the-civil-war-tickets-158756209095 ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/women-soldiers-in-the-civil-war-tickets-158756209095 )\nPHM Members Free | Non-Members $10\n\n
