The Women's War in the South recounts the manner in which women experienced the war and the changes it brought about in their lives. Filled with excerpts from the letters, books, diaries, and post-war writings the women left behind, it reveals the other side of the war -- the women's war. Here are largely first-person accounts of women running farms, buying and selling goods, working outside the home, serving as spies, and even participating in combat in disguise. Women, particularly Southern women, who often had to confront invading Yankees face-to-face without weapons, had strong feelings about this war. The war meant shortages, sacrifices, and -- for many -- death by disease, starvation, and battle. Once the war was ended, the grieving did not end quickly, but from their sorrow emerged a legacy of independence and freedom. The Women's War in the South offers a sampling of these experiences.
