Looking ahead to next month, on Weds., Nov. 14, Kelly D. Selby, Ph.D., assistant professor of history at Walsh University, will give a presentation on “Ohio Women and the Civil War Home Front.” According to Selby, the political and military role that Ohio played in the Union’s victory is widely known. However, less understood is the vital contribution that Ohio women made to the war effort. Selby’s presentation will spotlight Ohio women’s activities on the home front, focusing largely on Soldiers Aid Societies and the Sanitary Fairs in Cleveland and Cincinnati.
