One of America's most compelling First Ladies, Mary Lincoln
possessed a unique vantage point on the events of her time, even as
her experiences of the constraints of gender roles and the upheaval
of the Civil War reflected those of many other women. The story of
her life presents a microcosm through which we can understand the
complex and dramatic events of the nineteenth century in the United
States, including vital issues of gender, war, and the divisions
between North and South. The daughter of a southern, slave-holding
family, Mary Lincoln had close ties to people on both sides of the
war. Her life shows how the North and South were interconnected,
even as the country was riven by sectional strife. In this concise
narrative, Stacy Pratt McDermott presents an evenhanded account of
this complex, intelligent woman and her times. Supported by primary
documents and a robust companion website, this biography introduces
students to the world of nineteenth-century America, and the
firsthand experiences of Americans during the Civil War.
