"OVERLOOKED:" Forgotten Obituaries of Women During the Civil War

[RJNorton]

I received this notice from President Lincoln's Cottage:

On March 8th, 2018, for International Women's Day the The New York Times launched "Overlooked" a series of obituaries of notable women in history who never received their due. They noted that "since 1851, obituaries in The New York Times had been dominated by white men. Now, we're adding the stories of remarkable women."

In the spirit of the The New York Times' reckoning, our article this month focuses on three incredibly smart, brave, and influential women during the Civil War who, in our opinion, never received their due either. We've written obituaries of these women, a special tribute to their influences and accomplishes that changed the course of history.
