5.0 out of 5 stars
Top notch
This book won the Julia Cherry Spruill Prize for the Best Book in Southern Women's History in 2004. It provides an interesting perspective on women's role as preservers of Confederate identity for the New South. Lots of great photos.

Not for Fun
This book is not something you will enjoy reading. It is slow, repetetive, and about a subject that concerns almost no one. The award it won was for "The best book in southern women's history". That is such a specific category that there were probobly like 2 other books at most in competition for the award. The only reason anyone would have...

This review is from: Dixie's Daughters: The United Daughters of the Confederacy and the Preservation of Confederate Culture (New Perspectives on the History of the South) (Paperback)
Professor Cox has done an excellent job of revealinig the tremendous influence the United Daughters of the Confederacy had in the latter stages of the Lost Cause. This influence is still felt today. The book is well researched and very readable. It was a big help on a recent project of mine concerning the development of Confederate nationalism following the Civil War.

The only reason anyone would have for reading this book is if they were assigned it for a class, or if they are amoung the few people who are actually interested in that sad excuse for a subject known as "Southern Women's History." |
