The University of Virginia Library<\/a> has an old exhibit<\/a> on Southern women in the Civil War that is still accessible online.\u00a0 This exhibit is very well organized into categories that represent major concerns that occupied women on the home front before, during, and after the war.\u00a0 Under each category, the narrative is presented using a variety of primary sources.\u00a0 Most of the sources are letters and diaries, which are summarized using important excerpts.\u00a0\u00a0 Some sections also make use of photographs or popular cards of the time.\u00a0 The originals of all of the primary sources are\u00a0 available as a scanned image on the website.\u00a0 The format of the exhibit is straight-forward and easy to understand, and it tells the story of women during this time period in a concise and very effective way.\u00a0 It would be easy for teachers to present one or more of these topics to a classroom using the primary documents selected here as a resource.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
