Description
Summary:[...]in '"Graceless Yankee Tramps and Secesh She-Devils': Union Soldiers and Confederate Women in Middle Tennessee," Laura Mammina explores interactions between Union soldiers and Confederate women that challenged gentlemanly and ladylike behavior and "called into question traditional notions of masculine and feminine behavior, revealing them to be permeable and ambiguous" (p. 63).
