These memoirs are a unique account of a woman’s journey—from an ordinary soldier to a staff trooper (stabs-rotnmitser). They describe her deeds and courage during the Patriotic War of 1812. Nadezhda Durova’s life is full of unusual and dramatic events that she captured in her memoirs "Notes of a Cavalrymaid." She began her service as a rank-and-file soldier and rose to the rank of staff trooper, receiving the soldier’s George Cross for her bravery and feats. Over ten years of military service, Durova took part in two foreign campaigns and in the War of 1812; she served as an aide to Mikhail Kutuzov and enjoyed the patronage of Emperor Alexander I. After retiring, she turned to writing, with approval from Alexander Pushkin, who published part of her memoirs in the journal "Sovremennik." This publication caused a sensation among her contemporaries and gave the War of 1812 a new hero.
