During the Civil War, Clara Barton and Louisa May Alcott contributed to the Union war effort mainly by serving as nurses.

Clara Barton was an American teacher and nurse. In April 1861, after the First Battle of Bull Run, Barton created an agency to obtain and distribute supplies to wounded soldiers. General William Hammond gave him a pass to travel in the army ambulances to give comfort to the soldiers and cure them. She pressured the US Army bureaucracy, first unsuccessfully, to bring their own medical supplies to the battlefield. Finally, in July 1862, she obtained permission to travel behind the battle line, reaching the darkest battlefields and serving during the sieges of Petersburg, Virginia, and Richmond, Virginia. In 1864, Union General Benjamin Butler named her "lady manager" of the hospitals in charge of James's Army.

Louisa May Alcott was an American writer, known for her famous novel Little Women or Meg, Jo, Beth and Amy. In the Civil War she was a nurse at Union Hospital, in Georgetown, Washington DC, for six weeks between 1862 and 1863.
