DESCRIPTION: During the Civil War, with most of the men off at war, it be
 came necessary for women to work outside the home, taking on roles that th
 ey had been discouraged or even forbidden from taking in the past. Women b
 ecame nurses, ran farms and businesses, acted as spies, and even disguised
  themselves as men to serve as soldiers. Learn the many stories of strong 
 women during the Civil War. Worley Smith was born and raised in Pontiac,
