Publisher's summary

Spies played significant roles on both sides of the American Civil War, and many were women. These fascinating women contributed to the war effort when women could not vote or own property. Yet, Union or Confederate, all of these women had conviction.

This unillustrated audiobook explores the experiences of women whose courage and conviction played a key role in the outcome of the Civil War battle strategies and tactics. Their stories of courage, betrayal, and even love still resonate with women of today. North or South, all the women within this audiobook lived fascinating lives that deserve to be told.

Meh.

TL;DR: Well-to-do, socially and financially secure women use their female charms to pass messages. Overall, they have little personal investment in spying, they are exercising the luxury of living their values. Tubman and Bowser were the only ones directly and dangerously invested.

I was expecting to read about incredibly clever spycraft but there just wasn't any.
