Option 4 the author missed (where 1 was rejecting femininity, 2 close to husband, etc...) It's late in the war and some woman lost her husband, brothers, and sons in battle. She has nothing to live for and is driven to avenge their deaths or follow suit. She disguises herself and enlists to fight. It's also the civil war so "F those Yankees/Southerners, they must pay"
I thought feminists were all about Female Empowerment Boss Babes (tm)? How could the author miss a much more plausible and compelling explanation?
