Excellent--exactly what I was looking for. --Gretchen Green, Rockhurst College Offers a broader, more diverse view of the Civil War than previous volumes. --The Journal of Mississippi History Excellent collection--more of the same needs to be published! --Mort Stewart, Western Washington University The essays make us think, provoke us to question. In a class of neo-Confederate Virginians, what better book to use! I love it. --John Herbert Roper, Emory and Hery College Excellent --K.M.Startup, Williams Baptist College An excellent example of social history and its many possibilities. A major void in Civil War history has now been admirably filled. --William R. Wantland, Northwest Nazarene College [A] Highly original and pathbreaking collection of essays....the essays are especially valuable because they treat the experiences of ordinary people--black and white, male and female--in both North and South....The editors' introduction and epilog and an extensive bibliography make this an especially useful source for scholars and teachers. --Library Journal Finally the study of gender is out of the Civil War closet. Catherine Clinton and Nina Silber have collected the latest and best historical essays of the emerging scholarship on the social history of the Civil War. Divided Houses: Gender and the Civil War ranges from issues of masculinity and femininity to the effect of war on African-American children. This is a thoroughly useful, entirely readable, historically notable volume stitched together by the perceptive commentary of the author-editors. --Jean H. Baker, Goucher College Wonderful to have information both men and women, black and white, north and south, masculinity and feminity, individuals and households--all in one place. --Marilyn Dell, Virginia Wesleyan College Divided Houses should be required reading for all interested in how gender influences historical events, not just for students of the Civil War....[it] proves that exhaustively-mined evidence can still yield new insights when carefully considered. --Wanda Ellen Wakefield, Southern Historian
