Has anyone seen _Scarlett's Sisters: Young Women of the Old South_, by Anya Jabour, UNC Press, 2007, yet?
"Scarlett's Sisters explores the meaning of nineteenth-century southern womanhood from the vantage point of the celebrated fictional character's flesh-and-blood counterparts: young, elite, white women. Anya Jabour demonstrates that southern girls and young women faced a major turning point when the Civil War forced them to assume new roles and responsibilities as independent women. By tracing the lives of young white women in a society in flux, Jabour reveals how the South's old social order was maintained and a new one created as southern girls and young women learned, questioned, and ultimately changed what it meant to be a southern lady."
_The Confederate Belle_, by Giselle Roberts, came out in 2003, University of Missouri, and I'm wondering what difference there might be.
