Monuments to the Lost Cause: Women, Art, and the Landscapes of Southern Memory is a richly illustrated collection of fourteen essays examining the ways in which these memorials?from Monument Avenue to Stone Mountain?and the public rituals surrounding them testify to the tenets of the Lost Cause, a romanticized narrative of the war. Several essays highlight the creative leading role played by women?s groups in memorialization, while others explore the alternative ways in which people outside white southern culture?African Americans and Union supporters?wrote their very different histories on the southern landscape.
