by Martin Harry Greenberg (Editor), Charles V. Waugh (Editor), Catherine Clinton (Introduction), Katherine Clinton (Introduction), Charles Waugh (Editor)

Overview

The Women's War in the South: Recollections and Reflections of the American Civil War, edited by Charles G. Waugh and Martin H. Greenberg, recounts the manner in which Southern women experienced the war and the changes it brought about in their lives. Filled with excerpts from the letters, books, diaries, and postwar writings the women left behind, it reveals the other side of the war — the women's war — through first-person accounts of women running farms, buying and selling goods, working outside the home, serving as spies, and even participating in combat in disguise.
