Blood and Irony: Southern White Women's Narratives of the Civil War,1861-1937, by Sarah E. Gardner. During the Civil War, its devastating aftermath, and the decades following, many southern white women turned to writing as a way to make sense of their experiences. Combining varied historical and literary sources, Sarah Gardner argues that women served as guardians of the collective memory of the war and helped define and reshape southern identity.
