When Confederate men marched off to battle; southern women struggled with the new responsibilities of directing farms and plantations; providing for families; and supervising increasingly restive slaves. Drew Faust offers a compelling picture of the more than half-million women who belonged to the slaveholding families of the Confederacy during this period of acute crisis; when every part of these women's lives became vexed and uncertain.
