First sentence: Despite the existence of a vast, but until fairly recently, relatively untapped body of documentary material reflecting on the lives of mid-nineteenth century American women and their attitudes toward their lot, the editors know of no single source from the general period, including a favorite, Mary Boykin Chestnut of the South, which better accomplishes offering such insights than the one presented here.
