Seen through women’s eyes, nineteenth century southern social history takes on new dimensions. Subjects that were of only passing interest when historians depended on documents created by men now move to center stage. Women’s letters dwell heavily on illness, pregnancy, and childbirth.

The years of the Civil War are particularly well documented since many women were convinced that they were living through momentous historical events of which they should make a record.
