Blurb (from back cover): "A Rebellious Woman is based on the life story of Belle Boyd (1844-1900), whose coming of age coincided with the opening shots of the Civil War. Debutante, teenaged spy, seductress, actress, divorcee, crossdresser, and self-promoter, she carried a pistol and wasn't afraid to use it. In a century when a woman was meant to be noting more than a well-behaved wife and mother, Belle Boyd stands out as a scandalous woman of history defying all the rules."
Opinion: An interesting look at what was an interesting person during the Civil War period. I had not heard of Belle Boyd before reading this and I'm intrigued to learn more her. A more complete review will be posted on Reader Views in the near future.
