During the period from 1828 to 1877, women spies played crucial roles in various conflicts, particularly during the American Civil War. Notable figures included Belle Boyd, who gathered intelligence for the Confederacy, and Elizabeth Van Lew, a Union supporter who operated a spy network in Richmond, Virginia. These women utilized their social positions and skills in espionage to gather critical information, often risking their lives in the process. Their contributions highlighted the important yet often overlooked role of women in military intelligence during this era.
