"Disguised and Determined: Women Who Fought in the Civil War"
There are hundreds of documented cases of women who fought disguised as men during the Civil War. Tracey McIntire and Audrey Scanlan-Teller, PhD will discuss and share documentation of some of the more fascinating women and what motivated them to fight alongside men.
Tracey McIntire earned her BA in English at Rivier College in Nashua, New Hampshire. She is Lead Educator at the National Museum of Civil War Medicine, site administrator at the Pry House Field Hospital Museum and an interpretive volunteer at Antietam National Battlefield. Since 2008, she has portrayed a woman soldier at living history events.
Audrey 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. Dr. Scanlan-Teller is an active interpretive volunteer at Antietam National Battlefield Park and a small business owner.
Reservations are required. Admission to the Museum is included in ticket price.
