The Cavalry Maiden: Journals of a Female Russian Officer in the Napoleonic Wars (Paladin Books) - Softcover
Nadezhda Durova, daughter of a Russian nobleman, died in 1866, but not before her journals were published in 1836, on the initiative of Pushkin, who described them as beautifully written. They give an account of the ten years in which she served in the Russian Light Infantry dressed as a soldier. In December 1807 Tsar Alexander I personally granted a comission in the Hussars to this young cavalryman who had shown exceptional valour in that summer's campaign against the French. He knew, and some fellow officers soon guessed, that this brave soldier was in fact a woman.
