Elite Confederate Women in the American Civil War is a wide-ranging
primary source collection that offers a compelling selection of
upper-class, white Confederate women's voices from archives across
the South. From the prison diary of Mary Terry to Elizabeth Baker
Crozier's eyewitness account of the siege of Knoxville, this volume
introduces lesser-known voices of the war to show the
interconnections between the home front and the front lines, and
how the war shaped the lives of women and households across the
South. This collection challenges students to engage with the role
of first-person narratives in history and to reconsider the roles
of southern women in the Civil War. Exploring the themes of
slavery, nationalism, secession and occupation, these narratives
offer new ways to think about traditional issues in Civil War
history and, more broadly, show the ways in which studies of women
and gender can enrich studies of cultures of war. This book is
designed for undergraduate and graduate students of both the
American Civil War and women's history.
