| Abstract
|
:
|
"Focusing on middle-class women's contributions to the northern Civil War effort, Patricia Richard shows how women utilized their power as moral agents to shape the way men survived the ravages of war. Busy Hands investigates domestic imagery found in white and African American women's war work and how women used images of family and domestic life in their relief efforts to counter the effects of prostitution, gambling, profanity, and drinking, which, they believed, threatened men's postwar civilian fitness."--Jacket.
