Summary: Entertaining Chock Full of Info, and Easy to Read
Review: The subject matter is hard to find a book on, much less a good read, thus this book is a rarity, and it is very very well done.It's a very trustworthy read with no opinionated ego trips and an amazing amount of information. Drew Faust is the queen of primary sources. Everything you read by her is straight from an original. She truly does her research, then puts it in a form that is a delightful and captivating read. I found "Mother of Invention" to not only be incredibly informative (you'll learn quite a bit in one sentence) but and outstanding book that I vied to pick up even more than a novel. There's something incredibly satisfying in reading a research book and actually really remembering it because you liked it.

Summary: A very complete and well researched book of civil war women
Review: Typically, books of this nature have a tendency to be boring and unreadable. Not so with this author. She has included multitudes of letters, diaries, and facts and has made the book very readable and very interesting.
