"For the first time we have in this energetic yet sensitive volume a thorough, comprehensive, and impartial history of the enormous work the women [of both North and South] did when the guns sounded, and the steps they meanwhile took toward the sweeping transformations that followed Appomattox...Miss Massey's book [is] one of the most original contributions we have had to the literature of the Civil War."--Allan Nevins "This is a serious book, at once charming, scholarly and highly readable...It is probable that themost enduring consequence of the war for women was the changed conception they come to hold of themselves...Massey most skillfully brings out the contribution the press made toward this result."--New York Times Book Review The civil War wrought cataclysmic changes in the lives of American Women on both sides of the conflict.
