| Reviews |
"Lisa Tendrich Frank's ambitious Women in the American Civil War is a well-conceived, richly illustrated encyclopedia, written in clear and concise prose, that I can imagine being put to many uses, from reference source to gift. The work achieves its goals, which are, first, to 'detail the experiences of women during the American Civil War without necessarily glorifying them' -- although there is still a little glorification -- and second, to reveal 'the centrality of the Civil War to the lives of American women and American Society.' [...] The primary source collection is a slam dunk. Here, Frank carefully balances her sources, alternating between South and North, standards and surprises."

"One of the most impressive features is the encyclopedia's extensive 28-page bibliography of scholarly books, journal articles, and published primary resources, like diaries and journals. This bibliography is certain to be a useful tool for students, researchers, and educators. While certainly developed with an academic audience in mind, the encyclopedia entries are approachable and are enhanced with many interesting illustrations. Along with the additional features this set offers (e.g., chronology, primary documents), this set may appeal to a wider audience, including general and high school users."
