Book Review

Gender Matters: Civil War, Reconstruction, and the Making of the New South. By LeeAnn Whites. (New York: Palgrave, 2005. viii, 244 pp. Cloth, $75.00, ISBN 1-4039-6311-8. Paper, $24.95, ISBN 1-4039-6312-6.)

This collection of articles by LeeAnn Whites focuses on gender in nineteenth-century America. The book includes her much-cited essay, "The Civil War as a Crisis in Gender," which suggests new ways to conceptualize the war, and fourteen other articles on a range of topics: politics, labor, agriculture, reform, sexuality, women's organizations, historical memory, and the career of Rebecca Latimer Felton, the first woman to serve in the United States Senate. Some of the essays are new, while others have been published before. The articles treat the South, the North, and the border regions, although most of them concern the South; some of the articles reach well into the twentieth century, but most cover the second half of the nineteenth century.
