The Political Work of Northern Women Writers and the Civil War, 1850–1872
"This volume explores the lives and works of nine Northern women who wrote during the Civil War period, examining the ways in which, through their writing, they engaged in the national debates of the time. Lyde Cullen Sizer shows that from the 1850 publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin through Reconstruction, these women, as well as a larger mosaic of lesser-known writers, used their mainstream writings publicly to make sense of war, womahood, Union, slavery, republicanism, heroism, and death."--BOOK JACKET.
