Women's Civil War Websites


 
The Authentic Civilian's Manifesto--A primary goal of this document is to establish, once and for all, that civilian interpreters are bound by the same rules of historical accuracy as male/military interpreters.
Confederate Cantinieres Chapter 2405--(United Daughters of the Confederacy, Tampa Fl.)  This is a great site which will answer all your questions about the UDC and what the ladies do.  Photos, text, pages and examples of their work are well done.
Flowers Of The South Living History Society--This site endeavors to encourage individual first person impressions, while promoting and maintaining goodwill, friendship and education.
Hard Scrabble Farm--This site presents a working-class impression which is often more appropriate for the living history events.  They focus on the years leading up to and including the Civil War, but also enjoy earlier periods.
Ladies of Reenacting -- Offers the female reenactor information about Civil War, WW II, Colonial, Edwardian eras and more.  This is a well done site (the visual effects are superb) that all the women will want to put on their favorites list.
LHS--links to hundreds of civilian, military, historical and etc sites.
School Of The Civilian--There are so many choices to make when representing a civilian of the Civil War era.  So many different kinds of people with so many different social and economic levels, occupations, and experiences.  Once a civilian reenactor has chosen his or her persona these variables must be considered when putting together the overall impression.  "You may not like what you see, but do not on that account fall into the error of trying to adjust it to suit your own vision of what it ought to have been."
