context_page_description: Juliet Ann Hopkins was born on a plantation in Jefferson County, Virginia. After her marriage to Arthur F. Hopkins of Mobile, Alabama, she relocated to that state. During the Civil War, the couple sold most of their real estate holdings and donated the money to the cause of the Confederate States of America. When her husband was appointed to oversee hospitals during the war, she went to work converting tobacco factories into hospitals. She made daily visits to the wounded, and received a battlefield injury in the course of her duties.
  Her husband died within months of the close of the war, and she spent the rest of her life in poverty.

In 1991, she was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame.
