Value Of Origin Of Pauline Cushman By Cynthia Zavala

The value of origin of the article “Pauline Cushman” is that Cynthia Zavala wrote it in 2002 and she later published the paper on ABC CLIO.

The image illustrated how a female had to give up her identity as a woman to serve her country. Correspondingly, disclosed from documentation of Sara Emma Evelyn (another spy from the Union side) for one of her missions, Edmonds had to dress up as an Irish peddler (“Edmonds, S. Emma E.

Female spies (from both the confederate and union sides) did not hesitate one bit to conceal their identities as women, and perhaps forever. Female spies like Edmonds and Boyd could not divulge the fact that they were women after all. The courage of these women to hide their identities forever shows their passion, which impacted the Civil War. Along with soldiers and equipment, another great asset of the two political parties was their spies, mostly comprising
