"Why Northern Women Matter for Understanding the Civil War "
By Nina Silber
Of Boston University
Each fall since 1992 Marquette University
faculty, students, and alumni have welcomed a distinguished scholar
of the sectional conflict to the annual Frank
L. Klement Lecture. The goal of the lectures is to provide
scholarly but accessible "alternative views"--fresh looks at traditional
topics, explorations of previously underutilized sources, bold
examinations of controversial topics. Written by past winners
of the Pulitzer, Bancroft, Parkman, and Douglas Southall Freeman
prizes, the lectures are original works, often drawn from current
research projects. Ranging in length from just over twenty to
fifty pages, the published booklets, which you can order
online through the Marquette University Press, are longer
than the actual lectures and include full citations and illustrations.
