In Feburary 2013, I posted a link to memoirs of Elizabeth Keckley, who was a former slave that became Mary Todd Lincoln's seamstress and confident. The memoirs give us a look into that period of time and the feelings of women throughout the War, from both sides of society. The link above takes you to a Smithsonian blog with more information in a Q and A format. Hope you enjoy it.
