Great research book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Through the use of diaries and letters, this book tells what ordinary women in Confederate States were doing at home during the Civil War. There is great detail about what rural farm women were doing as well as plantation dwellers. Most other books I have read contain letters and diary entries from privileged women. This book has those descriptions, but also gives voice to women who were renting or leasing their land without the benefit of slaves. The book describes travel, services, shortages, daily life, fears, and emotions. Actual processes are detailed for making shoes, hats, clothes, rather than simply mentioning that the women were making them.
