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

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.
