Confederate Women

About this book

"Any reader with an interest in women's history will find the stories of this group of unsung heroines an eye-opening experience." -ForeWord

"An affecting reminder that Southern women faced the challenges of the wartime era with courage and determination." -Civil War News

Confederate Women is an inspiring anthology of ten essays about the crucial role women played during and after the Civil War. These heroines stuck to the belief that the Civil War was "certainly ours as well as that of the men." Excerpts from correspondence with their sons, fathers, husbands, and other women shed light on their unique position in America's past. The women featured in this anthology refute the common belief that Southern women were delicate and fragile. These Confederate women started relief organizations and militia companies, learned how to fire a musket, and even worked as spies. One courageous woman disguised herself as a male officer and recruited troops from around the South. Often women are left out of history books, only to fade into the shadows of time. Thanks to Mauriel Phillips Joslyn and her contributing authors, these women will remain a part of our history, never to be forgotten.
