It is endlessly fascinating, and will remain a valuable resource for the foreseeable future." -"The Journal of Military History, Summer 2004 "[An] outstanding work... A unique work for scholars, students, Civil War buffs and reenactors, and general readers. The standard against which all future works will be measured. Highly recommended. All levels and collections." -"Choice, May 2004 "Unique... An important resource for mostlibraries... A necessary acquisition for public and academic libraries with collections on the Civil War, social movements such as abolition, and women's studies." -"Booklist/RBB, March 1, 2004 "The first to focus exclusively on women in this pivotal conflict... The readable entries include both illustrations and bibliographies... Recommended for larger public and academic libraries, particularly those with an interest in Civil War and women's studies, even when more general works are available." -"Library Journal, January 2004 "The effect of the Civil War on women's lives is explored in this methodical, expert, readable, reference source... Harper accounts for historical perspective and diversity of viewpoint on a particular person or group of women, and she delivers facts, folklore, andcontemporary thought with precision and clarity. This tool is essential for Civil War studies in middle schools and high schools ." -"VOYA, April 2004
