Sarah Gardner talked about her book, Blood and Irony: Southern White Women’s Narratives of the Civil War, 1861-1937, in which she discusses these recorded narratives, and how these women expressed their thoughts and memories of the war. In fiction, biographies, private papers, educational texts, historical writings, and through the work of the United Daughters of the Confederacy, southern white women sought to tell and preserve what they considered to be the truth about the war.
