Book synopsis

During the Civil War, its devastating aftermath, and the decades following, many southern white women turned to writing as a way to make sense of their experiences. Combining varied historical and literary sources, this book argues that women served as guardians of the collective memory of the war and helped define and reshape southern identity.
