This person volunteered her services to the Union a week after the attack on Fort Sumter. In June 1861, she received an appointment placing her in charge of all women nurses serving in army hospitals. Despite her many worthwhile accomplishments, her stern and autocratic style led some to give her the unflattering nickname of "Dragon."

Who was she?
