Mothers of Invention: Women of the Slaveholding South in the American Civil War

Description

“I read with unanticipated fascination, spellbound by the gathered voices, their passion and stamina, their gifts of introspection and observation …. (Faust looks) directly at the past, with a daughter’s hard, steady gaze, and with a daughter’s generous heart”. — Josephine Humphreys, New York Times Book Review
