Summary "She Would Be a Soldier; Or, The Plains of Chippewa" by M. M. Noah is a historical drama written in the early 19th century. The play centers around the themes of love and bravery during the war era, featuring characters such as Jasper, a veteran soldier; his daughter Christine, who seeks autonomy against traditional expectations; and Lenox, a soldier she loves. The narrative reflects on personal aspirations juxtaposed with the broader backdrop of military conflict, illustrating the challenges of the time. At the start of the drama, we are introduced to Jasper, who recounts his past and his experiences as a soldier during the American Revolution. He discusses his daughter Christine's suitor, Jerry, and expresses concern about Christine's future. We meet Christine and Lenox, who are in a burgeoning romance, yet the societal pressures compel Christine's father to arrange her marriage with Jerry Mayflower, a farmer. As Christine grapples with her feelings and the looming threat of an unwanted marriage, she decides to escape to join the army disguised as a soldier, setting the stage for a tale of defiance and adventure intertwined with themes of identity and love.
