Description
Stephanie McCurry, R. Gordon Hoxie Professor of History, Columbia University Dr. McCurry is a Civil War historian who focuses on gender history and Southern women. Her most recent book, Confederate Reckoning: Power and Politics in the Civil War South (2010), explores the Confederate government's inability to provide for the large numbers of women and slaves left to fend for themselves on the home front, and concludes that these domestic crises ultimately decided the fate of the Confederacy. Dr. McCurry is currently working on two book-length projects: the first examines the Civil War as an event in women's history while the second investigates the chaotic period immediately following the fall of the Confederacy.
