During the Civil War, its devastating aftermath, and the decades
following, many southern white women turned to writing as a way to
make sense of their experiences. Combining varied historical and
literary sources, Sarah Gardner argues that women served as
guardians of the collective memory of the war and helped define and
reshape southern identity. She considers such well-known authors as
Caroline Gordon, Ellen Glasgow, and Margaret Mitchell and also
recovers works by lesser-known writers such as Mary Ann Cruse, Mary
Noailles Murfree, and Varina Davis. Gardner reveals the existence
of a strong community of Confederate women who were conscious of
their shared effort to define a new and compelling vision of the
southern war experience. In demonstrating the influence of this
vision, Gardner highlights the role of the written word in defining
a new cultural identity for the postbellum South.
