In my previous articles, I introduced Éowyn and discussed possible bases for her character in The Lord of the Rings. In this post, I will continue my examination of J.R.R. Tolkien's warrior woman by exploring her background while illustrating similarities that several women soldiers of the Civil War shared. This concept is important because life history often dictates decision making. The first post in this series can be found [HERE].
Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of women disguised themselves as men and served in the Civil War. I present research, both previously published along with new discoveries, to document the lives and trials of these extraordinary women.
