Hello, I am currently working on my PhD. In Leadership Studies. I have been assigned a 30-35 paper on the following topic:
Influential Women of the Civil War Period and Their Relationship to and Influence on Abraham Lincoln.
In terms of structuring the paper, I am thinking about dividing the women into three categories:
Pre-War Influencers (Character shaping- Lincoln)
War-Time Influencers (Possibly divide by Political, Social, Private Life)
Post-War Influencers (Although Lincoln was deceased, his legacy lives on)
I have a working list of women for each category that I am considering and researching. However, I would love suggestions about women who would fit into these categories. I have attached my working list for review if it would be helpful.
