It was the nineteenth century when the Civil War broke out, woman were tired of staying in the homes all day cleaning and working for their husbands and kids.They were frustrated by their limitations in society. Women were becoming more active and many became spies or soldiers. Several hundred women joined their husbands, sons or brothers working to help them.

Most of the spy networks were employed with men by the Government. Many people did not like the idea of women doing a man's job, so the women made up their spy networks. In many cases the information that the women received was more accurate then the men. After a while people realized that the ladies were doing a good job.

Our project will inform of the role that three woman spies Belle Boyd, Elizabeth Van Lew, and Rose O'Neal Greenhow had during the Civil War. Our Conclusion will wrap up the project.
