Near the end of the Civil War, nearly half of the adult male population of the North and a staggering 90 percent of eligible white males in the South had joined the military. With their husbands, sons, and fathers away, legions of women took on additional duties formerly handled by males, and many also faced the ordeal of having homes occupied by enemy troops. With occupation, the home front and the battlefield merged to create an unanticipated second front where civiliansmainly womenresisted what they perceived as illegitimate domination. In Occupied Women, twelve distinguished historians consider how womens reactions to occupation affected both the strategies of military leaders and ultimately the outcome of the Civil War. Contributors include Alecia P. Long, Lisa Tendrich Frank, E. Susan Barber, Charles F. Ritter, Margaret Creighton, Kristen L. Streater, LeeAnn Whites, Cita Cook, Leslie A. Schwalm, Victoria E. Bynum, and Joan E. Cashin. An epilogue by Judith Giesberg concludes the volume. Civil War historians have depicted Confederate women as rendered inert by occupying armies, but these essays demonstrate that women came together to form a strong, localized resistance to military invasion. By broadening the discussion of the Civil War to include what LeeAnn Whites calls the relational field of battle, this pioneering collection helps reconfigure the location of conflict and the chronology of the American Civil War.
