      abstract = {When Confederate men marched off to battle, white women  across the South confronted unaccustomed and unsought  responsibilities: directing farms and plantations,  providing for families, and supervising increasingly  restive slaves. As southern women struggled "to do a man's  business," they found themselves compelled to reconsider  their most fundamental assumptions about their identities  and about the larger meaning of womanhood. 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.},
