"Hannah Snell, the Female Soldier" is a biographical account published in 1804 by R.S. Kirby, with G. Scott as the author. This work chronicles the extraordinary life of Hannah Snell, an 18th-century Englishwoman who defied the gender norms of her time by disguising herself as a man to serve in the British military. Born in Worcester in 1723, Snell's life took a dramatic turn after a series of personal tragedies, including the death of her husband. Seeking both adventure and a means of support, she adopted the alias "James Gray" and enlisted in the Marines in 1745.

The book details Snell's remarkable military career, highlighting her participation in several significant battles, including the Siege of Pondicherry in India. Her ability to maintain her disguise throughout her service is a testament to her resilience and ingenuity. Despite suffering injuries in combat, Snell managed to keep her true identity hidden, even performing self-surgery to avoid detection.

Kirby's publication not only recounts Snell's military exploits but also delves into her life after her true identity was revealed. Upon her return to England, Snell's story captured the public's imagination, leading to her receiving a military pension from the Royal Chelsea Hospital, a rare honor for a woman at the time. The book also explores the broader social and cultural implications of Snell's life, offering insights into the rigid gender roles of the 18th century and the extraordinary lengths to which individuals could go to transcend them.

"Hannah Snell, the Female Soldier" serves as both a historical document and a narrative of personal courage, providing readers with a vivid portrayal of a woman who challenged the conventions of her era to carve out her own place in history.
