As a scholar, she has published two books of her own research on the subject of women's roles in the American Civil War, and the war's impact on women's experience: Yankee Women: Gender Battles in the Civil War (1994) and All the Daring of the Soldier: Women of the Civil War Armies (1999). She also annotated and wrote a new introduction for a reprint of Sarah Emma Edmonds's 1864 memoir of her life as a soldier in the Union army: Soldier, Nurse, and Spy (1999), and she has also published an article on the significance of gender in the trial of Mary Surratt, convicted of involvement in the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and another article providing an overview of how studying women in the Civil War transforms our understanding of that crucial event.
