Women's War
Women's War is a compelling and gracefully written book, rich with far-reaching insights that will interest readers of women's history, Civil War history, and the broader history of war. Rather than an expansive exploration of American women's Civil War experiences, Stephanie McCurry's book is a more focused look at three specific developments that showcase the essential place of women in the U.S. sectional conflict: the Union military's confront…
This War Ain't Over

From 1865 down to the present day, these sentiments have reverberated in American culture and American politics, and they sounded at gatherings of Union and Confederate veterans and then of their descendants, in the pages of newspapers and ma…

Battle Scars

Scarlett Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Scarlett Doesn't Live Here Anymore is a dramatic history of the South in the years leading up to and following the Civil War: a history that focuses on the women, black and white, rich and poor, who made up the fabric of southern life before the war and remade themselves and their world after it.

Southern Daughter
Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind is perhaps one of the most famous American novels of the 20th century. Her life story is equally compelling. As much the classic Southern belle as Scarlett O'Hara, she shunned her privileged background to forge a career in the male-dominated newspaper business, lending her support to numerous radical cultural and intellectual movements. Her one and only novel sold over one million copies in the first six mon…
