| Summary | "Our Women in the War" by Capt. Francis W. Dawson is a historical address written in the late 19th century. Delivered during a reunion of the Association of the Maryland Line in 1887, the address celebrates and memorializes the significant contributions and sacrifices made by Southern women during the American Civil War. The text pays particular attention to their courage, perseverance, and the hardships they faced while supporting soldiers and their families amid the tumult of war. The opening of this work sets a poignant tone by emphasizing the vital role of women in the Confederacy, highlighting their unwavering support and selflessness in the face of adversity. Dawson uses vivid language and examples to illustrate the emotional and physical burdens they carried, from caring for wounded soldiers to managing households under the threat of invasion. The address presents instances of their ingenuity and determination in various contexts, such as creating makeshift hospitals and kitchens, showcasing how their sacrifices were integral to the Southern war effort. Overall, the beginning effectively establishes the book's theme of honoring these women's contributions, while also reflecting on the broader social and historical implications of their experiences during the Civil War.
