Mary and Molly Bell information


Mary and Molly (or "Mollie") Bell were two young women from Pulaski County, Virginia[1] who disguised themselves as men and fought in the American Civil War for the Confederacy. The pair successfully managed to keep their gender hidden from their fellow soldiers and the military for two years while fighting in several major battles, until they were discovered and incarcerated. Soon thereafter, the women were released from prison and forced to return home.[1]
