I could not find specific questions for Sister of Cain, our August 21 selections, so here are some general ones. I did make a few of them specific. Please, please feel free to come with your own!
What did you find surprising about the facts introduced in this book?
How has reading this book changed your opinion of a certain person or topic such as Civil War espionage, of Allan Pinkerton, or of another historical topic?
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he or she achieve this?
The author is writing on a debatable issue, at least during the 19th century, that of women as Civil War era Department of the Treasury spies, and women as nurses. Does he or she give proper consideration to all sides the debate? Does she seem to have a bias?
How has the book increased your interest in the Civil War, feminism in US history, or the history of spies in America?
