Description
The Women’s War within the South: Recollections and Reflections of the American Civil War, edited by Charles G. Waugh and Martin H. Greenberg, recounts the way wherein Southern women experienced the war and the changes it brought about of their lives. Filled with excerpts from the letters, books, diaries, and postwar writings the ladies left at the back of, it reveals the opposite side of the war — the ladies’s war — through first-person accounts of women running farms, buying and selling goods, working out of doors the house, serving as spies, or even participating in combat in disguise.
