5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating and thorough study of a fascinating subject.
This book does a marvellous job of detailing the effects of the Civil War on almost all classes of women: Northern, Southern, rich, poor, those who actively took part as nurses, spies, and actual combatants, and those who were "only" effected as the battles caused major disruptions in their lives, those whose lives were relatively unaffected, those who were forced to work...

Charming if Dated, Marred by Introduction
Massey's book was a pioneering effort in its time, and we should all be thankful for that. At least it is a welcome point of departure. But the introduction by Jean Berlin is lacking much in the way of insight or understanding. A more experienced scholar might have presented a richer analysis.

This book does a marvellous job of detailing the effects of the Civil War on almost all classes of women: Northern, Southern, rich, poor, those who actively took part as nurses, spies, and actual combatants, and those who were "only" effected as the battles caused major disruptions in their lives, those whose lives were relatively unaffected, those who were forced to work in factories, those who turned to prostitution, and others. Well-written, well-researched, well-organized. Highly recommended.

An outline of amazing research,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Women in the Civil War (Paperback)
I found this book nicely organized..... a good resouce for further research. The thought of one going through thousands of letters and journals is overwhelming to me, but there is no other way to get this overall picture of what it was like to be a woman in this country, during this period. I will keep this book forever and refer to it often. Thank you M.E.M., etc for your gift.
