This site is devoted to the study of a very unknown aspect of the American civil war : Rape & sexual agressions on women. A disturbing subject but a reality. This site does not contain any erotism or pornography, only History, but it is written by a Frenchman, so my apologies if my english is not the best...Thanks for your understanding !
This site is dedicated to the memory of all women, known and unknown, white or black, raped or illtreated during the CW, forgotten victims of a not so romantic war ...
An inquiry on a crime
which doesn' t exist...
"I think these times make all women feel their humiliation in the affairs of the world. With men it is on to the field - glory, honour, praise & power . Women can only stay at home- & every paper reminds us that women are to be violated -ravished & all manner of humiliation. How are the daughters of Eve punished."

« What a great example of putting little known information on the Internet!
Explore this taboo topic here, on a site put together by the CWRT of France.
Get accounts of scandalous episodes, including a list of all soldiers known executed for rape during the war. Great idea! »
