- Summary
- "Sharon Talley offers close readings and comparative analysis of sixteen women's diaries from the Civil War era that illuminate women's experiences in the Confederacy during and after the war. Talley divides her study into six sections that are organized by location, vocation, and purpose: diaries of elite planter women; diaries of women on the Texas frontier; diaries of women on the Confederate border; diaries of espionage by women in the South; diaries of women nurses near the battlefront; and diaries of women missionaries in the Port Royal Experiment. When read together, these writings illustrate that the female experience in the Civil War South was not one but many."--
